About me and my therapy practice
As a qualified and experienced counsellor, I can work with a broad range of issues. As a male counsellor I am particularly drawn to working with men and men’s issues. Negotiating the demands of the modern world can be particularly difficult for men. We do not always have the tools to work with these new demands and expectations. I offer a space in which to explore issues and build understanding, compassion and openness.
Alongside counselling, I have a broad experience of working with mental health issues, including community and residential work. I also have a broad experience working outside of mental health. This includes engineering, education and construction. I think experience outside of counselling is vital when trying to help and understand others.
Like many counsellors my initial experience was through my own counselling. I am a strong believer in lived experience as I believe this gives the counsellor a better understanding of the people they work with.
Practice description
The most important aspect of successful counselling is the relationship between the counsellor and client. In my practice I try to create a space in which you can explore your issues without judgement or expectation. My role is to support you on your journey.
