Mark Allerton

Men sometimes carry their problems around, being strong on the outside, like a suit of armour. They leave the talking to others, often women. Your friends might be doing the same, but if you’re the one to admit it, you fear losing your credibility as a real man. There may also be an inner voice telling you to man up and not show vulnerability, but this can be part of the problem.

I think counselling can help men become better friends, partners, fathers and lovers. Learning to talk about yourself without fear of judgement can help your state of mind and relationships. When I work with men, they often find it’s a relief to finally let it all out. They feel lighter and open up to change, rather than closing down or “manning up” just to fit in.

I offer both remote and in-person appointments and have experience working with English-speaking clients who live outside the UK in all parts of the world.

Dr. Anna Chisholm

As a BPS Chartered Health Psychologist I support people with health-related behavioural change. This might be supporting people with making a healthy lifestyle change, or living with a long-term condition. I have worked with people living with a range of long-term health conditions including obesity, psoriasis, kidney disease and multiple sclerosis. Change topics have included but are not limited to, weight management, eating, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, sleep, and stress management. I work with multiple health psychology theories and therapeutic approaches in an integrated way so that support is individualised and tailored to you and the issues you are facing.

I’m Dr. Livia, a clinical psychologist, and I’ve been in clinical practice for 23 years. I’m passionate about helping people to overcome obstacles and becoming their best versions. Modern life poses immense challenges on mental health and deciding to go for therapy can feel scary, especially for men, as society pressures men to perform and keep it together under pressure. But it doesn’t have to be like that!

I’m here to put you at ease and support you during your healing journey. I also have a lived experience of panic disorder, anxiety and depression and have done loads of therapy myself. Reach out for a complimentary 15 min discovery call and learn how I can help. Approaches: ACT, CBT, CFT, REBT.

Mr. Richard Whitenstall

I am a Gestalt Counsellor (regsitered with BACP) and started seeing clients in 2013. This was through placements at Hampshire charities No Limits (young people) and Cruse (bereavement). From 2017 to 2019 I set up and ran a counselling service with London charity Positive21 (HIV). I am co-author of “Strength to Talk” which is dedicated to men’s mental health with all proceeds going to the charity Mind.

Anyone interested in counselling can have a free consultation session (30mins) to ask any questions and check that we could make progress.

After that I work online via “Psychology Today Sessions” (encrypted video service) each session lasts 50 minutes.

The model I use is Gestalt/Humanistic theory.

Yvonne Coughlan

My approach is warm and thoughtful, placing my clients at ease in opening up sometimes for the first time about their personal feelings and experineces. I predominately offer a psychodynamic approach which is particularly beneficial for those who have lost meaning in their lives or have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships. My approach is based on the understanding that difficult experiences in the past can continue to affect the way you feel in the present. In the therapeutic relationship, we can start to explore and recognise the reasons why the things that make you unhappy seem to be repeating themselves.

Simon Cook

I will be real with you. No nonsense just a down to earth approach.

I will gently challenge to see what’s REALLY going on.

I don’t just ask ‘how does that feel?’ I help you explore issues with the purpose of achieving change and a better future.

Miss Hope Peckover

Coming to therapy can be a really tricky first step; perhaps you’ve now realised you are struggling, or you know you are capable of more and want to make the most out of life. There can be loads of reasons for coming to therapy. My aim in my therapy room is to help and guide you in the direction you want to go.
