At different points in our lives, we can feel stuck - in our relationships, work, families, past, etc. This can make us feel angry, isolated and like nobody really understands what we're going through. While there are many excellent female therapists out there, many men feel more comfortable talking with a male therapist to be able to talk about what's really going on in your mind.
You already do enough to try to keep it together in your life - you don't have to do that in counselling too. You don't have to hold back in counselling - the dark thoughts, the anger, the hurt, the language, whatever it is that's going on inside your mind, we can work through it together and find a way for you to feel more relaxed and more connected the the people that are important to you.
Men seek counselling for all sorts of reasons:
-
Dealing with life changes (relationship changes/loss, becoming a parent, losing a parent) and family stress
-
Trauma (childhood abuse or continuing abuse, witnessed violence, accidents and many other forms of trauma)
-
Addiction (porn or sex addiction, substance abuse)
-
Anxiety and depression
-
Workplace stress – the pressures of performance in the workplace and work/life balance
-
Lack of direction or being lost in life
-
Lack of intimacy or closeness in relationships
-
Dating or marriage problems
-
Crises of faith/worldview
-
Feeling a lack of confidence, feeling powerless, not respected
-
Having difficulty managing intense emotions (anger, sadness or anxiety) and feeling out of control, feeling like you’re always on edge and not sure if you can deal with the next thing that may cause you some stress.
If you’re a man struggling with any of the above issues, we can help. Together you can work towards developing an understanding of yourself and a sense of confidence that allows you to overcome these problems and find a renewed confidence in yourself. Please contact us to get started.
