Do you feel like you are carrying the weight of the world on your own? You might be the person everyone relies on, but inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, or running on empty. It’s hard to admit you are struggling when you are used to being the one who "just gets on with it." ​Perhaps you lie awake at night overthinking, or feel a constant sense of dread. You might also notice you are turning to alcohol, gambling, or other habits to numb the stress, and worry these mechanisms are taking control. You want to feel calm again and regain control over your life, but you don't know how to stop the cycle ​

Hello and welcome I work with individuals who may be struggling emotionally and finding things difficult to cope with on their own. They might feel overwhelmed, anxious, low, or unsure of themselves, and need a safe space to talk openly without judgement. They want to feel heard, understood, and supported. Their goal is to make sense of how they are feeling, feel more at ease within themselves, and begin to move forward in a way that feels right for them.

Men's Issues Counsellors
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.

How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.

What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
