Men I support
If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to express what’s really going on inside, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out alone either.
I work with men who are ready to reconnect with themselves and their relationships by exploring emotions with curiosity rather than judgment.
To gain clarity on your personal values, strengthen your self-awareness, and support you in expressing your truth with confidence and compassion. My approach is both supportive and gently challenging, helping you create meaningful change without pressure, just the space to grow into the version of yourself you know is possible.
How I help you
I get how men and women can think and feel differently. Generally men like to ‘fix’ things and like to ‘think things through’ on their own, and to others they may see them as being distant and non-communicative.
For some men it can be difficult to open up and talk. Some may not have the skills to express themselves, even though there’s a lot going on internally for them and they may struggle in silence and possibly close off.
Working with a Woman Counsellor on areas around relationships, I can offer you a deeper awareness through the lens of a conscious and embodied feminine woman.
The healing journey towards empowerment takes time and patience, something that can not to be rushed.
I find doing a minimum of 6 to 8 sessions will help you embody the process I use which is a combination of:
- Attachment Styles in relationships, to have healthier relationships.
- Emotion Focused Therapy, to process and manage your emotions.
- Inner Child work, to process unresolved issues.
- Self-Compassion work, to accept oneself.
- Empowerment strategies to help you integrate these new ways into your life and relationships.
What you can learn
- recognise unconscious ways you have been repeating patterns and create new healthy ones
- identify limiting beliefs that have impacted your relationships
- skills to help you communicate in a way to helps you to be heard and understood
- devise action steps to help you make meaningful choices to bring you peace and happiness
- establish healthy boundaries that are in sync with your values
- work through hang ups that may be blocking you from having a satisfying relationship
- establish more balance between home, career and family life.
- transition from being in a relationship to being single and/or a co-parent
You're not alone
Social norms around how men show up in relationships is changing and evolving. There still seems to be some expectations of men not to be seen as weak or vulnerable. These perceived expectations may lead men to hide behind their armour of protection and mask how they really feel inside. Their partner may see this as them being closed off or possibly not interested.
I offer a supportive and caring environment for men to overcome these perceived cultural norms and help them build healthy realistic ways of living that is authentic to them and within their relationships.
