For over 10 years my experience and training has focused on adding value to the lives of those who seek to enrich their quality and experience of life. I specialise in therapeutic techniques for those who want to: aspire toward personal/professional goals; seek meaning; overcome relationship challenges; escape a life rut; struggle with men’s issues; or just overcome those persistent overwhelming uncomfortable emotions and thoughts. Additionally, I specialise in treating people with prolonged mental health conditions, unhelpful habits or behaviours for which you have been unable to overcome through previous treatment.

I enjoy working with clients who are ready for a serious change in their lives. It's okay if you don't have specific or clear goals at first, but it's always helpful to be aware of what it would look like if therapy was going to work for you. I love working with clients who are committed to practicing what they have learnt in therapy in their everyday life . Also, I always appreciate when clients feel comfortable enough within sessions to voice what they feel is working for them, where they are still stuck, or unsure if something actually working for them.

I focus on men's counselling. It's not that I don't counsel women it's just that men have different ways of dealing with problems that require another kind of approach. The Situational Approach says “this person is going through some exceptional event and they need help dealing with it” rather than “they have a mental health problem and we need to treat the illness”.

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.
