Hi. At times we are challenged in life and we may need help to work through the issues that can affect us. Whatever we are experiencing, it can impact on our whole life greatly. At times admitting we need help can be a long and hard journey and just getting to this point of looking for a therapist means you’ve addressed so much already and that you wish to take the next step. It's finding the right therapist for you, just like any other relationship is how you connect that enables you to feel safe and be open so you can work through your issues. So take your time to find the right one as that relationship can help you so much.

Hi there, my name's Odin. The idea of counselling can be pretty unsettling. But you've probably done the hardest part already - you're here and you've accepted the possibility you might need some help with whatever's going on for you. That's already a really big and brave step. If you decide you might like to work with me, then we can safely and confidentially, with respect, compassion, empathy and gentle honesty, have a look at whatever's concerning you. Whatever it is, however hard it feels, I'm here if you want to look at it together.

Are you experiencing Anxiety, Depression, and PTSD? Is your mental ill health getting in the way of living the life you want to live? Many people receiving counselling with me have a feeling that there's no hope left and happiness is out of reach for them, but I promise you, it is not. Many clients who I see take back control of their lives, improve their relationships, find meaning in their lives, and leave that feeling of hopelessness behind in place of a life with peace and purpose.

Life, as they say is a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs with wild twists and turns when we least expect them. Loss, bereavement, loneliness, trauma from past and present, anxiety, and many other issues affect us all in our daily lives. How we deal with these matters varies, self harm physically and mentally through addictions, poor relationship choices, physically harming the body, self deprication, gambling, amongst many other harmful behaviours are often presenting behaviours. They are all distractions from our true selves, when what we need most is to be heard and listened to, to grow and become the person we want to be.

I’m Jon. I’m an integrative counsellor, and I’m currently able to offer sessions in-person, via video call or over the phone. I trained in a number of different psychotherapeutic approaches. My aim is to adapt how I work, and which approaches I’m drawing upon, depending on the needs of the client I am working with. I want to help clients bring about the change they seek - that might be a change in behaviour, or a change in outcomes, or it could be a change through developing a greater understanding.

You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, or anger. You may be feeling numb, low, or lost. You might be having difficulties in your relationship, at work, after a bereavement or in other aspects of your life. You could also be noticing a pattern which keeps repeating that you want to change. As you are unique, I believe your counselling should be too, and I will tailor my approach to you. That might mean that our sessions are a space for you to talk through your thoughts about your issues or work through your feelings at a pace that suits you.

Male Counsellors

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.
