What does it mean to be male in world where gender identity is fluid, and traditionally gendered roles have changed? I offer support to men struggling with ‘men’s issues’, and who are interested in exploring how different ways of ‘being masculine’ might be warmly and wonderfully received, rather than alienated by those who make up your personal, social and professional relationships.

As we journey through life; developmentally we traverse life stages that bring their own unique challenges and opportunities. Our first job, a career change, partnering, parenting (or not), and retirement; are examples of circumstances that reside within a wider context of psycho-social transitions. I offer counselling support to help you reflect and make the most your changing world.

Using well grounded research as a basis for therapy, I support parents and individuals (over the age of 18) on issues relating to parenting only-children, or the experience being an ‘only child’ in adult life.

In our interconnected world people from diverse cultures meet, mix and integrate; but not always easily. How might differences in cultural experience enrich rather than impoverish your internationally orientated relationships? I offer counselling support to those who are struggling in a relationship or in an environment, where differences in culture might subtly or significantly influence how you feel as a person.

The word ‘work’ is often synonymous with ‘stress’. Having spent a considerable amount of my working life in business, I am well acquainted with many of the pressures and anxieties that burden people in the workplace. These might include the often unseen or ‘invisible’ responsibilities of owning or running a business. I offer support to individuals struggling with the competing pressures of workplace ‘performance’ whilst also remaining fully available and present for a life outside work. I also provide help for people enmeshed in difficult inter personal relationships at work, which if left unresolved, sap our reserves emotional energy.

Serving in a military organisation demands conformity, discipline and sacrifice - for some - an ‘ultimate sacrifice’. Military service is all consuming and offers servicemen and women an identity, a sense of belonging and a clear purpose. However, at a personal level, there is a life within and beyond the military, which if not nurtured, makes leaving and adjusting to the outside world extremely challenging. I do not work with complex trauma, (there are organisations that specialise in this area); however I support people who are currently serving or who have left the military, and who find the process of adapting to a different life difficult.
