A direct, honest space to talk about what is actually going on, with a BACP accredited therapist. No performance, no script.
If you have arrived here, something is probably not sitting right. It might be the anger that comes out at the wrong moments. It might be the flatness that has settled in over months or years. It might be a relationship that is unravelling, or a sense that you are running on empty without anyone really noticing. Most of the men I work with do not arrive with a tidy story. They arrive because something is off, and they are quietly tired of carrying it on their own.
This page is for men who want a real conversation rather than a performance. You do not need to have your thoughts organised. You do not need to know what is wrong before we start. You just need to be willing to look at it honestly.
From my work with men across the UK, the patterns are familiar. Anger that feels disproportionate, but underneath there is often grief or shame that has nowhere to go. Anxiety that gets called stress because that word feels more acceptable. Work pressure that has become identity, where slowing down feels like failure. Fatherhood and partnership where you are present in the room but somewhere else inside. The sense that you are supposed to be fine because, on paper, you are.
None of this means you are weak or broken. It usually means you have been doing what you were taught to do, and that strategy has reached the end of what it can do for you.
I am a BACP accredited counsellor and trained EMDR practitioner. I work integratively, which means I draw on whichever approach is most useful for what you are bringing. With many of the men I work with, that includes elements of CBT for the practical patterns, psychodynamic exploration for the deeper roots, EMDR where there is unprocessed trauma, and an IFS-informed approach when there are different parts of you pulling in different directions.
The style is direct but not clinical. I will not let you skim across the surface, but I am also not interested in making you sit in pain longer than is useful. The aim is real change, not catharsis for its own sake.
We start with the present. What is happening in your life, what is not working, what you have already tried. From there we work out together what is most useful to focus on. Some men come for a specific issue and finish in a few months. Others use therapy for longer-term, deeper work. Both are valid.
Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £70. They take place online via a secure video platform, so you can have your session from home, the car before a meeting, or wherever you have a private hour. There is also a free 15-minute consultation if you would like to ask questions before booking.
Yes. The barrier for many men is not whether therapy works, but whether the space feels usable. Once it does, the work tends to move quickly because most men arrive with things they have been carrying for a long time and finally have somewhere to put them.
That is normal. Many men come to therapy because something is off rather than because they have a clear story to tell. We work with what is actually there: the irritability, the flatness, the relationship strain, the pressure at work. The shape of it tends to become clearer once we start.
For most men, yes. Some find it easier to open up online than in a consulting room, and removing the travel and waiting room makes the practical barrier to consistency much lower.
Individual counselling sessions are 50 minutes and cost £70. There is also a free 15-minute consultation if you would like to ask questions before booking.
If you have been thinking about this for a while, that is usually a sign it is time. Book a session and we will start where you are.
