Counselling Offerings
Men’s Counselling
In my work with men I offer a safe, non-judgmental, masculine space for you to begin to let down your guard and open up. As the armour comes off, we explore your thoughts, your feelings, and your unique experiences that have brought you to this place you find yourself. Our work often leads us to face:
-
Even when surrounded by people, many men feel disconnected. I help men build deeper connections first with themselves, then with others, so they no longer have to carry it all alone.
-
Men often carry shame, anger, and grief like weight strapped to the body—heavy, silent, unspoken. That weight shows up as rage, withdrawal, or feeling nothing at all. Together we’ll loosen what’s been held tight so you can move through the world with more freedom and breath.
-
Addictions are a signal, a cry for help. They are a symptom of deeper issues. Whether there is substance use, compulsive sexuality and porn use, I help men get to the hurt underneath and learn to face it rather than run from it.
-
From conflict and communication issues to emotional shutdowns, I help men show up more honestly and skillfully in their most important relationships. Our work increases empathy, being PRESENT, and the courage to be vulnerable and real.
-
Struggles around desire, performance, shame, or connection are more common than you think. I offer a safe space to unpack these experiences and move toward deeper, healthier intimacy.
-
Feeling stuck or unsure of your path can be deeply unsettling. Together, we explore what truly matters to you and help you reconnect with your values, motivation, and sense of meaning.
Couples Counselling
In couples counselling, I offer a steady, supportive space where we slow things down, create safety, and look at the patterns hurting your relationship. I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and also draw from Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy to help both partners feel seen, respected, and able to build healthier ways of relating. Areas we often engage are:
-
I engage couples in the deeper patterns beneath their communication breakdowns — the shutdowns, escalations, and missed emotional signals. Through EFT and clear relational accountability, I help partners speak honestly and hear each other in a way that actually lands.
-
I engage couples where trust has been broken and the bond feels fragile or unsafe. With equal parts tenderness and accountability, we name the injuries clearly and rebuild a foundation that can truly hold both partners.
-
I engage couples who feel disconnected emotionally, sexually, or both. Together we explore the blocks beneath desire and closeness, creating a safer, more honest space where intimacy can come alive again.
-
I engage couples who struggle with anxious or avoidant patterns that make closeness feel overwhelming or unsafe. Through slow, attuned emotional work, I help partners understand the fears beneath their reactions and create safer, more responsive ways of reaching for each other.
-
I engage couples who feel overwhelmed or divided in their parenting—whether by discipline, emotional load, blended family dynamics, or the stress of raising kids with different needs. Together we clarify roles, strengthen teamwork, and build a unified approach that supports both the relationship and the children.
-
I engage couples where patterns of control, criticism, gaslighting, or narcissistic behaviours have created fear, confusion, or emotional shutdown. Using a firm-but-compassionate relational framework, I help name the harmful dynamics clearly, establish safety and accountability, and guide both partners toward healthier, respectful ways of relating.
Separation & Divorce Counselling
Separation and divorce — especially high-conflict ones — can feel overwhelming on every level. Together we sort through what’s happening, focus on what you can actually control, and help you make decisions rooted in your values rather than fear or anger. We’ll steady your nervous system, set clear boundaries, and build a grounded path forward for you and your children.
-
I engage clients who feel caught between fighting for the marriage or releasing it. Together we sort through the fear, grief, and uncertainty, focus on what’s truly within your control, and identify the values that can guide your next honest step.
-
I engage clients facing constant battles over schedules, communication, discipline, or how the kids are treated in the other home — including manipulation and parental alienation concerns. Together we set clearer boundaries, reduce reactive communication, and build a parenting approach that protects you and your children’s well-being.
-
I engage clients whose ex continues patterns of control, manipulation, or emotional abuse even after the relationship has ended. We name what’s happening clearly, explore safety and support, and develop practical strategies for minimizing contact, setting boundaries, and staying anchored in your reality rather than theirs.
-
I engage people who feel worn down by ongoing legal battles, custody disputes, or fear of the next hearing or lawyer’s email. While I don’t give legal advice, I help you process the emotional toll, prepare for difficult interactions, and stay grounded and clear-headed so you can work more effectively with your legal team.
-
I engage clients who are facing financial uncertainty — legal fees, child/spousal support, housing changes, or fear about the future. Together we unpack the emotional weight of money, clarify priorities, and support you in making grounded, values-aligned decisions rather than choices driven purely by fear or retaliation.
-
I engage people who feel lost after separation — unsure who they are now without the relationship, the family structure, or the old story. Our work focuses on integrating what you’ve been through, reclaiming your sense of self, and slowly building a life that feels steadier, truer, and no longer defined by the conflict.
