Men, Masculinity & Fatherhood

Please note that I use the words "counselling for men", "psychotherapy for men", "men's psychotherapeutic counselling" & "men's talking therapy" and also "counsellor for men", "psychotherapist for men", "men's psychotherapeutic counsellor" & "men's talking therapist" interchangeably. I am trained & accredited as a male counsellor, psychotherapist & talking therapist for males and I am happy to discuss their differences with you.

Male Behaviour Patterns

  • Men often use aggression when hurt
  • Approx 75% of suicides are male
  • Men may need to reflect more before acting
  • Many men find it hard to relate, communicate & engage with other men
  • Some men struggle how to fully engage in l i f e as men, partners or fathers
  • Some men struggle how to be naturally sexual & healthily aggressive
  • Some men only see intimacy - vulnerability or tenderness as a weakness, yet rarely as strength
  • Some men find it hard to integrate competitiveness & co-operation
  • Many men report a sort of "archetypal grief, pain or anger"
