Counselling for Men
What are common issues men experience ?
Who we are as a person, a husband, a son or even a new father and the change which happens to us then. What is our role when things around us change ?
Body image is something which is very common and not withstanding that, the way we communicate as men is different than it is with women sometimes.
What happens in “Therapy” ?
Therapy does not need to be daunting, think of it for you as a private hour (50 minutes in a therapists world) where you can say what’s going on without the other person saying they have “done that too”. Then quite quickly the trust grows and we develop what is called a therapeutic relationship. This is when we trust each other. You dont have to share scary moments, or deep and meaningful things, that happens if you want too, some people simply dont have them to share.
Is it private ?
Everything you say is confidential. One of the advantages of therapy is that it is confidential. IF there was a time where harm was to be caused to yourself or others, then we would discuss if I was going to need to break the confidentiality but this is all discussed together openly and honestly before therapy starts.
How does it start ?
It takes just a few steps and a couple of minutes to start the process of being in therapy…
1) Click the below button and I will call you back, just put your name and phone number or email if you proffer
2) We have a short conversation on your preferred method of communication and agree a date and time
3) We meet and discuss what is going on for you that day or what you want to talk about
What happens then ?
As part of our discussion we agree a number of sessions where we will be together. As time progresses we agree review points and if you want to end at any time, then that is in your gift to do so.
Is there something to sign ?
There is a contract between us, this is an agreement of how we will approach the sessions in honesty and timeliness. It simply gives you and I a foundation to start a relationship on. We will discuss it if needed but this would be sent in advance.
