Therapy For Men

While I work with adults of all backgrounds, it can be useful to speak directly to men – as many are sceptical or wary of therapy.

It is a generalisation, but a true one, that many men grow up with recognisable pressures around coping alone, staying in control, being useful, enduring difficulty, or finding it hard to speak openly when something is wrong.

These pressures shape how stress and distress are carried. Struggle may show up through overwork, irritability, withdrawal, compulsive habits, relationship difficulties, loss of direction, or a sense of feeling disconnected from yourself.

If you are cautious or unsure about therapy, this is common and you are not alone. You do not need to arrive with the right words, the answers, or know how to “do therapy”. You start by just turning up. That’s it.
