My aim is to provide an empathic and comfortable environment that enables you as client to engage in self exploration and self-understanding. Often, I feel that the challenges or symptoms we experience tip our lives out of balance. Providing you with the necessary tools and knowledge to regain balance and work towards sustainable change and a more fulfilling life remains a fundamental goal. My experiences include a variety of therapeutic frameworks (i.e., Schema therapy, CBT and DBT) and thus prefer to work from an integrative perspective.

I enjoy working holistically with clients and their families in order to ensure the best possible outcome. The approaches I prefer to use are Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic. I adjust my methods to best suit the needs of the client. In every session I am aiming to create an environment that is safe and nurturing to the therapeutic process.

Life can be hard. We experience a whole array of emotions while balancing work, personal life, and relationships. At times it feels like the things happening in our life are overwhelming us, which leads to emotions like anxiety and depression. The thought of therapy can be intimidating, but it is a rewarding process of self-discovery and understanding yourself better to deal with the challenges of life.

Your ideal client is someone who feels they have lost control in some aspect of their life, whether it be emotional control or control over their environment. Recognising that a lack of control can lead to unhappiness, you aim to help these individuals regain a sense of control. Through our work together, we focus on identifying the areas where they feel powerless and develop strategies to restore their sense of agency, ultimately improving their overall well-being.

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.
