Do you have a clear purpose for how you want to live your life?
Feeling confused not knowing which direction is right for you? Reaching out to speak with someone can help.
Psychotherapy and Counselling sessions are focused to help you process and understand your experience. You can speak frankly, openly and honestly without being judged or feeling criticised.
It is hard to recognise when to reach out for help and move beyond those times of confusion. Taking the first step can take time. you might be looking and considering before you make contact if this is the right way forward for you. We know in our conversations with men, they have found it helpful in talking things over with someone. Men have reported they have gained different perspectives and understanding about themselves, learned new insights, recognise old, outdated repetitive patterns of behaviours and how they use blocking strategies that stop them living a full life.
Discover how you can make the right choice for living your life.
Individual Sessions
Sessions are structured to address what you choose to explore. Together we will collaborate towards a way forward for change and how you want to live your life.
Psychotherapy is a field of specialisation. The process is of a longer timeframe where we will work at a deeper level. I am informed and work from an existential framework that promotes self discovery, meaning and purpose for living in todays world.
Counselling offers a shorter number of sessions and allows you to develop self-awareness and understanding about your choices in life and their impact. It is a helpful process during those challenging times with the purpose of helping you to gain clarity, direction and to promote change for improving your wellbeing.
Relationship Counselling for Gay Men.
Gay men come to couples counselling and therapy for several reasons. Predominantly they are seeking help with their relationship difficulties and differences. For example, communication differences and misunderstandings, a lack of intimacy beyond sex, how to open a relationship sexually, or when it’s no longer working. Differences in sexual preferences, improving closeness and connection and planning a future direction as a couple or, to get some fun and loving back into the relationship.
In this fast-paced world, relationships are under threat. Finding time together without distractions, nurturing one another or surprising your partner with something out of the ordinary can feel like a chore. Coming to relationship counselling can be about the big stuff and also about learning to reconnect and fine tuning your relationship.
Many couples leave it too late to come to counselling. Entrenched, hurtful and painful relationship communication patterns and behaviours drive distance that is hard to move beyond. It will take time to unpack and understand the impact on your relationship.
In our first session we will explore your relationship, what you want to work on and gain from coming along. It is not unusual to have differences. One may want the sessions more than the other. Having different expectations, perceptions, hopes and dreams are not uncommon. It’s important to begin the process of connection to help understand their impact. Together we will work to find a way forward, find new or different strategies and options to help with the immediate and longer term relationship direction.
Seek help, make your relationship a priority for going forward.
In coming along to talk through your concerns, together we will collaboratively engage to help understand your unique situation and importantly, how you can bring change to your life.
