I offer therapy for clients struggling with the effects of negative events (often traumatic) from their past. These events can affect our sense of agency and relationship with safety, both with ourselves and others, as well as carry the symptoms of low mood, anxiety, and reduced concentration. I believe that our relationship experiences affect how we interpret negative events, and that effective therapy should include how our attachments provide a deeper understanding into how we manage adversity.

Firstly, from one human being to another, I would like to say how proud I am of you for looking for some support. It's not easy to admit when we might need some help, or to actively seek it out. It's a really big step. Take your time, you're in control of what happens next, so do things at your own pace. Trauma can have such an impact on every part of our lives. It's never easy, but taking the control back and facing your experiences head on may be the best way to start your healing. You don't have to do this alone. I would really like to help you on your journey to a happier and more fulfilling life.

Are you living with disappointment? Have you been hurt by life? Are you carrying burdens on your own? Is it time to put yourself first and seek a listening ear? This first step can feel daunting but my own experience has taught me that relief is possible. At times we all need a safe place to share what is going on in our hearts and mind. Although we may have friends and family around us who genuinely care, the thought of telling them exactly how we are feeling can be scary and overwhelming. Instead, we often put on a brave face and choose to say nothing. I would be honoured to spend time together, exploring your needs and desires.

Most people haven't had any kind of therapy before and it can be a bit daunting to know where to start. There are over 40 therapists based at the Sheffield Wellness Centre and my job as practice manager is to help you find the perfect person to help you achieve your desired outcome. The first step is to get in touch to arrange a no obligation discovery call. This is ideal if you don't even know what kind of therapy might suit you. I won't use any jargon and will talk you through the pros and cons of the different therapies so you can make an informed choice rather than selecting a therapist at random and hoping for the best.

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.
