A lot of men are really struggling right now and reaching out for support can feel difficult.

I'm a 26-year-old Â鶹ԭ´´-registered male counsellor, and I work with men from all different backgrounds as well as adults of all ages. Being part of Gen Z myself, I have a genuine understanding of many of the pressures people face in today's world

Mental health doesn't belong to any particular age group. Whether you're 18 or 80, one of the hardest things for many men can simply be recognising that you're struggling and making the decision to ask for help. I provide a non-judgmental space where I not only hear what you are going through, but truly listen and understand.

I can help you to understand your feelings, and find ways for you to face and overcome your challenges.

I am particularly experienced in working with the many issues that men in my age group currently face such as loneliness, depression, anxiety and neurodiversity. Throughout my work, I draw on evidence based approaches such as CBT and Person Centered Theory which is designed to help you feel deeply understood as well as give you the tools and skills towards making positive changes in your life

I have rich experience working in the criminal justice system, addiction treatment and supported living.

If you are curious about what therapy might be like, I provide a free initial consultation so we can talk about the issues you are facing and how I can help.

In our first session we will talk about what help you may need and what you hope to get out of our sessions. If at the beginning, you aren't sure what you hope to achieve in therapy or just curious about the process, that's okay too and a very common starting point for people who are interested in therapy.

There will never be any pressure to talk about anything you aren't ready to discuss, our sessions will always be a non judgemental non critical space. 

My job will always be to focus on you, work at a pace you are comfortable with, put your needs first and truly listen to what you have to say.
