The foundation of my therapeutic approach is rooted in mindfulness and a deep understanding of how the nervous system responds to overwhelming or traumatic experiences. By fostering physiological safety and co-regulation, we can support your healing journey. Chronic anxiety and depression often leave us feeling disconnected, stuck in survival mode, and lacking purpose. What sets my approach apart is its foundation in trauma-informed modalities, compassion-based practices, and high-performance psychology, offering you a holistic and comprehensive path to mental health and well-being.

I believe each of us has the capacity to be happy and fulfilled, both in our individual roles and as part of relationships, and especially the relationship with our primary life partners. However sometimes complications happen and we loose track. But we all have a smart inner wisdom which can be trusted to put the parts together again, sometimes with help.

The way we see ourselves, often shaped by past experiences, can become the biggest obstacle to our growth. To move forward, we must challenge these self-imposed limits and reshape our mindset to welcome new possibilities. One of life’s most incredible realisations is that we are not bound by who we’ve been—we have the ability to change.

Therapy is only likely to be effective when the therapist and client have a relationship that is based on integrity, trust, safety and the absence of judgement. Creating that space is my overriding priority. When the therapy space is safe, we are able to explore our emotional lives, our relationships, our work, our play and our intrapersonal dynamics in ways that allow for a deeper consideration of what is best for us and those around us. I work with whatever is most important to you at this chapter of your life with a view to crafting the the most considered choice.

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.
