Men

Unfortunately, men often feel increasingly precluded from therapy and mental health support. The languages of unconditional acceptance and worth are not ones that many men feel apply to them. A growing number of men feel that their value as a member of society is entirely conditional on what they can do, achieve, and provide for others.

When our efforts to meet these conditions are thwarted, often for reasons beyond our control, stress, anxiety, and depression predictably follow. Men’s mental health difficulties often centre around feeling disempowered and unable to control or influence key aspects of their lives. I help men establish practical interventions and perspectives to regain their autonomy, resilience, and direction.
