Tailored and progressive support designed to navigate change.

“Everyone's different, so the suggestion that I specialises in men's counselling isn't a statement that I think all men are the same. It perhaps better reflects that the majority of my counselling clients are men, and a familiarity with some of the common issues men are challenged by. Men often have different ways of communicating and making sense of relationships due to the way they have been taught to "do relationship". I've spent a long time studying and working with men to understand the various influences that might significantly impact on men's experience.”

“Often people attend counselling to discuss relationship issues, whether they be from the past, present or hopes for the future. I work a lot with people on their relationships, often focussing on what they can do to make sense of it and improve it.”

“Anxiety and depression are the most common mental illnesses that people experience today. I have various strategies and techniques drawn from a variety of counselling frameworks that may assist in your management of these conditions.”

Working with people to better manage their emotions is what I spend a large part of my days doing. Often our emotions surprise us and the way we respond to them and others can be equally surprising. I can support you to navigate these difficult moments differently.

“Prior to spending many years specialising in men’s work, the majority of my experience involved working with families, whether it be with the children or the parents, individually, as family units or running group programs. Sometimes working with families means referring some members out to other services, which I can support in addition to whatever areas I feel I can accommodate" myself”

I've spent almost 2 decades working with teenage males who may be struggling with anger related issues, violence, a decline in school grades, withdrawing from family and friends, depression, sleeping problems, self-harming behaviour etc.

Often young men are faced with various challenges that can be difficult to understand and navigate, particularly when attempting to do so within a society where "being a man" rarely involves showing emotion or effectively managing emotions without using physical force. A lot of my work involves providing a space for males to explore these emotions and develop strategies to express them so they don't lead to anger and abuse.
