Coming to therapy can be uncomfortable, especially for men. We're rarely taught how to talk about our feelings, or that it's even acceptable to share them. Whether as individuals, or as part of a couple, I provide an environment where you can talk openly, without shame or embarrassment. When working with couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners improve their connection. I ensure that both partners feel safe, acknowledging that it's often male partners who feel the most vulnerable in therapy.
I offer counselling to all adults, but focus primarily on men and couples. I provide a relaxed environment where clients can open up at their own pace. Throughout therapy, I provide you strategies to help manage your symptoms. As we develop a deeper understanding of your problems, we work towards effective, long-term solutions.
If you're interested in scheduling an appointment, or a free 15-minute phone consultation, please visit ponakpsychology.com or contact me through my profile. You can schedule appointments Mondays and Fridays.
