Therapy for Men Who Look Fine on the Outside
Counselling in Bromley, Peckham and online for men carrying anxiety, pressure, emotional exhaustion or self-doubt quietly.
You may be functioning at work and in relationships while privately feeling exhausted, irritable or emotionally flat. Many of the adults I work with have spent years keeping things together before reaching a point where something no longer feels sustainable.
Why a practice focused on men?
Many men learn at a young age to keep going, to not say much, to handle things on their own. That can serve you well, until it doesn't. The men I work with often arrive having held things together for a long time, with no obvious crisis, just a quiet sense that something has run out. What I find, time and time again, is that men can really benefit from the chance to say what's actually going on, somewhere it won't be judged or carried home. I really seek to offer a space, once a week where you can speak and truly feel listened to.
Who I work with
I typically work with men in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, usually professionals, often senior. They're the people others lean on, at work and at home. Many come because something specific has cracked. Many come because nothing has, and they've just realised they can't keep doing things the way they've been doing them. Others arrive because their partners or relatives have suggested that talking to someone may help.

Why work with me
Alongside my counselling practice I have a career in business, and I hold an MBA from the University of Glasgow. I understand the world my clients are navigating, and the kind of pressure that comes with it. I'm in my 50s. I came to therapy myself in my 40s, after years of holding things together, and that experience really shaped how I work today. Clients describe me as calm, and tell me I have a strong memory for the detail of what we've talked about, I'll often bring something back from a previous session when it matters.
