WHY THERAPY IS IMPORTANT FOR MEN

A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age; he dies of being a man. - M. de Unamuno

In my former working life, I was often the lone female in a sea of Alpha and Betas, jockeying for position or trying to fade into the background, each and everyone fighting to survive in their own way.

I grew a great appreciation for the male journey, the loneliness, the bullshit, the front, and the crippling sense of disappointment and failure.  Whether at work, in relationships, body image, sexuality, self-worth, rage, intimacy, and on and on. In short, I learnt that men, just like women, are struggling to be themselves.

Often men seek out male therapists - this can be a powerful connection; two men speaking about how life really is. I however have been fortunate in having worked with many male clients and it has become a valued part of my practice. There is so much misunderstanding and pain standing between men and women generally, that the work we do here can be very healing and revealing of life outside the therapy room.

I have particularly worked with men in the military, policing, surgery and the city and welcome working with an even more diverse group of men.

Why Work with me?

I’m very intuitive in my work with people. I find that there are many practitioners who hold on to their theory very tightly but in my experience, don’t have room to hold their clients/patients. When it comes to the one on one therapeutic relationship, I can’t hold on to theory.

I have to let everything go and listen with all of myself - most people only listen with a very limited part of themselves, be it to themselves or others. And therefore we get stuck because we search and search for the truth but can’t find it because we can’t hear/see it.

If you have any concerns about whether therapy is for you, or if you would simply like to chat to see if I can help you - book a free 20-minute clarity call with me.

I look forward to working with you.
