Therapy has become very clinical in the pathological world we live in. I focus on ways to make ethical, values-based choices that help you build a life of purp & meaning. I use an Existentialist approach (Humanistic) and my methods generally follow Acceptance & Commitment Therapy guidelines. I have a unique perspective on many issues resulting from my experience in life with personal challenges: raised in poverty, suffering male-anorexia, failed early-life relationships and 20 yrs. as an entrepreneur. This lived experience helps me be an effective counsellor, mental health speaker and provide ethical services as a life-coach.

I have worked with people for 30 years. Depending on the person my approach would vary. For some more clearly defined problems a short-term practical approach is suitable. I support the client to deal with his or her difficult situation and to find solutions which will work best in that particular setting. For more complex issues which have persisted over a long time it is necessary to explore and address the underlying issues in order to achieve long-term improvement. Therapy should provide a safe and professional space from where to start a journey with the aim to find more balance and greater enjoyment and meaning in life again.

Many of my clients are couples experiencing communication difficulties, emotional distance, or recurring conflict that feels hard to resolve on their own. I also support clients navigating family estrangement when a significant relationship has broken down and the way forward is unclear. My approach offers a calm, structured environment to explore what’s happening beneath the surface, clarify patterns, and begin moving toward healthier connection, repair, or direction.

Life can be brutal: the past haunts, interferes with the present and imperils the future. Counseling is a place to pause, reflect, and begin again.
I believe there are no “bad” parts to people. Even the painful or overwhelming parts are trying, in their own way, to protect you. In counseling, we make space for all these parts to be seen and understood, while reconnecting with your deeper Self, that steady presence at the centre of it all. Therapy is not about reducing you to your struggles but about discovering new and practical ways to live more fully.

We all experience challenges through our life’s journey and sometimes they become obstacles that are seemingly unbearable or impossible to overcome. Especially when the issue(s) are not concrete and difficult to articulate. Together we can evaluate and identify them, in order to address and find a process suitable to alleviate the hurt and suffering.

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.
