Feeling overwhelmed by not meeting your own or others expectations of you, feeling low or totally stressed out. Drinking too much? I can help. Worry and anxiety can come in many different forms and be caused by a lot of different reasons. Life isn’t always straight forward or easy. For example being a parent can be challenging and maintaining relationships sometimes suffer as a result of life’s ups and downs. Trying to find a way forward, having somewhere to speak about what is going on and getting it off your chest and then looking for solutions may be what you are after. Getting some answers and relief from what ever is going on.

I feel successful counselling is built on a foundation of a good therapeutic relationship. I will work with you and try to build that relationship. I will do this by treating everything we talk about as confidential, being honest, genuine, respectful and non-judgemental. This will build trust between us and of the counselling process, which will enable you to explore your feelings and thoughts at your own pace and in a safe space. During counselling we will work together to build those foundations which will enable, underpin and reinforce a productive therapeutic relationship that can help you to discover solutions.

At times we may experience difficult emotions which we struggle to control. We may know why, or it may be a mystery to us. Wrestling with these feelings may give rise to anxiety or feeling withdrawn and low. We may also have long-standing difficulties, stemming from past experiences, that constrain our lives and compromise our relationships. Abuse, bullying and neglect can have a deep and lasting impact on our emotional wellbeing. These emotional difficulties can affect many aspects of life including sexuality, relationships, family, work, diet and physical health.

I’ve had a diverse set of clients in the last 14 years. Most clients come to our sessions with depression or anxiety. Some may have trauma or loss. Some clients want CBT and I offer this. Some may want only a short number of sessions, others may wish to ask for long term counselling. Both of these can be negotiated throughout the therapy. Everybody wants to feel better and return to their former self. I want this too for all of my clients. Have a good day

I trained as an integrative counsellor which means that I work using more than one theoretical basis; 1) The Hu manistic Tradition - using relationship to deliver change and empower the client.
Sometimes in life we can lose our way. Anxiety and depression or traumatic events can stop us from realising our potential. You may want to unpack destructive relationships, come to terms with grief and loss, or you might be unable to move forward with your life and cannot understand why. I am offering a safe, non-judgemental space to explore and understand those parts of life which cause pain and sorrow.

Anxiety or depression can manifest in many different ways: difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, lack of enjoyment in favoured activities, lessening attention span, loss of or lack of identity, difficulty in clear thought or intrusive thoughts to name just a few. At times it's not always clear why we feel the way we do, perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed or are engaging in patterns of behaviour which are negatively affecting your life. Conversely you may be all too aware of events or relationships which have or are affecting your mental wellbeing and wish to explore these in a supportive and nurturing environment.

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. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

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 a male therapist. 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, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. 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.
