Every day men fall foul of stress, burnout, and self-sabotage. Just one bad day or decision can imperil your business and career, reputation, relationship, or sanity. To outclass your competition, restrain your own ego, and best develop and safeguard sound mental health and your long-term performance, future, and legacy, facing the man in the mirror is no longer optional. My mission is to help make this as easy as possible. I specialise in male psychology, men's issues, and intersexual dynamics.
About me and my practice
Many men only turn to counselling or coaching after a crisis has already happened. My job is to help you navigate the challenges that bring you here and help you better anticipate and prepare for those to come.
Facing the often cold harsh truth of reality can be challenging, especially in a world where we are routinely lied to by individuals and organisations who claim to have our best interests in mind. Sometimes the best way to gain some clarity is to speak with someone with no existing investment or tie to you and your life.
My main priority ultimately is to help you move closer to your own vision for who you want to be and what you want to do, according to your own definition and across any and all levels relevant to you: physically, cognitively, emotionally, socially, and spiritually/in matters of faith and belief (or lack of), whilst acknowledging the inherent limitations of life.
Experience
I have experience in multiple face-to-face settings and offer remote counselling via online video, telephone, and live text chat sessions. I work from a dedicated private office space and welcome any questions before your initial assessment.
My approach is results-focused and consists firstly of supporting you to find your own answers to the issues you want to address as efficiently as possible. I will share my own perspective and discuss practical tools and strategies when relevant and necessary, this is secondary however to being given the space to be heard and understood. I seek to understand your experience and who you are as best I can and believe that everyone I work with also has something useful to teach me.
Presently working with adult male clients only, I specialise in male psychology and men's issues, intersexual dynamics and relationship issues however have worked with a very broad range of challenges with people from many varied walks of life and offer an approach that in the majority of cases will help you regardless of the specific problem.
Being male poses evolutionarily functional but nevertheless complicating factors that commonly hinder or completely prevent efforts to address one's own mental health. The fact you're reading this and considering taking action is, in my view and with these factors in mind, at least some form of victory already even if you probably don't feel like that at this time.
