Men can reach out

Are you a man waiting to reach out?

​Men and women are different and so is the way they seek support.
​
Therapy was thought of as something women seek out. We know for many years, the idea was associated with weakness and vulnerability, and this deterred men from getting help. 

I can't say how pleased I am this change is happening men are now beginning to seek out therapy it's more slowly. Slow and steady wins the race though right?

I love working with men, I know it's tough for them to reach out, they face unique challenges in society, and although improving there is a stigma that is still around. I enjoy seeing the benefits having a safe space can offer in what can feel like life in the fast lane.

It takes courage to confront difficult emotions and work towards personal growth and feeling better.

Reasons guys reach out for help...
​
They are working up the nerves. 
​
This could be to put themselves out there in the social world and meet and connect with new people. They want to be more confident and comfortable in the ways they come across to others. 

Men who lack direction 

Society highlights the need to have goals and things they ‘should’ be achieving. I have a lot of dislike for the term should. We have a choice around our goals and achievements. All too often there is outside pressure They might not know what these goals are and left feeling lost, unsure of their purpose or place in the world. There might be others who know where they'd like to be but are not sure how to get there. It is so easy for us to compare ourselves to others, what careers they have, where they are in life and how we haven't got what they have at the same age 

Loneliness 
​
This isn't to say they don't have mates they go out and have a good time with but maybe feel they can't be real with and have a close relationship. We all need someone to share our ups and downs with or maybe they want to be there to be able to hear and support mates struggle but are unsure how.

I have experience in supporting men to develop the skills to feel happier and more content in life.
