Men's Counselling
You are successful on the outside but inside you are exhausted.
Let’s understand what’s driving the pressure and help you to find a healthier way forward
Work is taking over your life, and you can’t seem to switch off.
Let’s find a way to regain balance without sacrificing your ambition
You’ve become irritable, distant or short-tempered with the people you care about.

You’ve always been the strong one but finding it harder to hold everything together.
Let’s give you a confidential space where you don’t have to have all the answers
You are going through a major life change (perhaps divorce, redundancy, becoming a father, retirement or bereavement)
Let’s navigate this chapter together
You’ve spent years looking after your career, family and everyone else’s expectations – maybe it’s time to invest in yourself
Many men grow up believing they should cope on their own or stay strong and keep going even when struggling. As a result, they often seek support later than they might have done by which point stress, anxiety or burnout has started affecting work, relationships or general wellbeing.
My aim is to provide a non-judgemental and confidential space where professional men can make sense of what’s happening and find practical ways to move forward.
Although I have this interest I do continue to welcome clients of all genders - see my general counselling page here
Fee's & Booking
Flexible appointments that fit around your life
Many clients are used to making the most of limited time.
Therapy can work in the same way.
I provide therapy that fits around you as there isn’t a “one size fits all” approach.
Some people benefit from taking time to explore things in depth whereas others have a clear issue they want to focus on or prefer shorter more frequent appointments around work and family commitments.
I offer therapy that fits the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit one model of therapy.
That is why I offer 30-60-and-90-minute appointments. Together, we’ll decide which format best supports your goals. The right session isn’t what is shortest or longest – it’s the one that wors best for you.
Appointment Structures
Initial Consultation | £65
New clients are required to attend a 60-minute initial consultation appointment (slightly reduced cost to normal sessions). The initial consultation is designed to assist with rapport building and understanding a client’s circumstances which requires longer than 30 minutes. After this the client can choose the session length that best meets their needs.

Counselling falls under the umbrella term of a 'talking therapy'. When a person attends counselling they are able to discuss their problems, issues and concerns in a safe and confidential environment. People will attend counselling for many different reasons but it is often because they want to change something in their lives or to explore their thoughts and feelings about something in more depth.
What is Counselling?
Life can be demanding. Whether it's work, relationships, family responsibilities, health concerns or simply feeling under constant pressure, many men find themselves carrying more than they realise.
Counselling offers a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what's going on, without feeling that you have to have all the answers. It's an opportunity to step away from the pressures of everyday life, make sense of what's happening, and find a clearer way forward.
Some men come to counselling because they're struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood or burnout. Others want support with relationships, confidence, anger, grief, life changes or simply because they know something isn't quite right, even if they can't put it into words.
Whatever brings you here, counselling is about helping you understand yourself better and make positive changes that feel right for you.
What Will a Counselling Session Be Like?
Many men worry they'll be expected to talk endlessly about their feelings. That isn't how I work.
Sessions are relaxed, professional and focused on what matters most to you. We'll explore your thoughts, experiences and challenges at a pace that feels comfortable. Sometimes we'll discuss difficult experiences or emotions, but always with the aim of helping you move forward rather than keeping you stuck in the past.
I won't tell you what to do or give you a list of answers. Instead, I'll work alongside you, helping you gain clarity, recognise patterns, and decide on the changes that are right for your life.
Whether your goal is to feel less overwhelmed, regain confidence, improve relationships or simply think more clearly, we'll work together to help you get there.
Can I End Counselling at Any Time?
Yes. You're free to end counselling whenever you choose.
That said, bringing counselling to an end is an important part of the therapeutic process. Whenever possible, I encourage us to plan your ending together so we can reflect on the progress you've made, recognise what's changed, and discuss how you'll continue moving forward with confidence.
