Male Counsellors in Tavistock
I specialise in supporting men and dads who feel overwhelmed by work stress, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression or past trauma - especially dads struggling to connect with their teenagers. Many feel stuck, isolated and exhausted by expectations to 'man up', but are ready to become the father, partner, and man they truly want to be. I also work with young people aged 12-25 navigating anxiety, depression, family conflict, identity questions, school pressures, and major life transitions. As a male counsellor with specialist training in adolescent mental health, I offer practical tools, genuine understanding, and a safe space

People sometimes think counselling is only for those who have experienced severe trauma. It’s not. My clients don’t always know the cause of their discomfort. They just know that something isn’t quite right. I’m a firm believer that everyone can benefit from counselling. My clients come to me for a variety of reasons. Some want counselling to recover from childhood trauma, domestic abuse or physical violence. Others feel isolated, alone and unheard. Perhaps you’ve experienced bullying, low self-esteem or suicidal thoughts. Many of my clients don’t really know what’s wrong. They just feel burdened, unhappy or ‘stuck’.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed by life, but keep going because they’ve had to. People who long to be understood without having to explain themselves, who are tired of holding everything together. Maybe you live with trauma, chronic illness, or emotional patterns that don’t make sense—but you know there’s more to you than this. You want to feel safe in your body, clearer in your mind, and more connected to yourself. You don’t need surface-level advice. You need someone who really sees you—someone who can help you meet the parts of yourself you’ve had to push away, and find a way forward that finally feels like yours.

The struggles you face today often have roots you can’t see- but therapy can help you understand them. Perhaps, it looks like you’re coping, yet inside you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. You might notice old ways of coping no longer work, emotions that come out of nowhere, or a sense that you just don’t fit in. I offer a warm, supportive, inclusive space where you can slow down, explore your experiences, and make sense of what feels confusing or painful. I work integratively using Transactional Analysis, a talking therapy that can help you see how past experiences shape your present patterns.

I'm a relationship counsellor in Bude, North Cornwall, seeing couples and individuals in person and online across the UK.
Something's not working, and you've probably already tried to fix it yourselves. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same argument without resolving it, or the distance between you has grown and you're not sure when it started. Maybe on your own, life doesn't make the sense it used to, and old coping strategies have stopped working. Before I trained as a counsellor, I spent thirty years in education, foster care and community work, which shapes how I sit with people now.

Opening up to someone new can understandably make you feel anxious. You may wonder, "Will I be judged?" "Will I be told I'm a hopeless case?" A lot of the time we can be own worst enemy. We tell ourselves that we are not good enough, not capable, or not loveable. We get frustrated, angry, depressed, anxious, and stuck in a world which sometimes feels fake and hollow somehow. We allow others to bully us, walk all over us, hurt us and destroy our dreams. However, all is not lost. Often all we need is just a small change in our perception, and to be seen and heard. This can make a huge difference.

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
