Find a Therapist

Dr. Annemarie O’Connor

I work as part of a team of online specialist clinical psychologists. We use technology to maximise each session you have and keep you well. We divide ourselves up into areas of expertise – so if you’ve experienced something traumatic, for example, the best professional care you can receive is from a clinical psychologist who has chosen to specialise in trauma. My expertise is OCD, BDD and obsessional and anxiety difficulties, such as perfectionism.

Jimi Katsis

Specialise in Adult survivors of childhood trauma and also a particular specialism supporting men who are experiencing distress due to a break-up when children are involved.

Ben Selby

Hello, I am an integrative therapist, working with a variety of men’s issues; anything from anger management through depression and anxiety, to self-esteem and childhood issues. It can be hard for us chaps to reach out sometimes, and understanding that, I work with patience and compassion to draw the issues from you at your own working pace.

Therapy can be an exciting and rewarding process. It can also be hard, and challenging. I am here to help you to become the best version of yourself.

Ms Elizabeth Flynn

I am a registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I specialise in integrative therapy; Person-Centred Therapy, Attachment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I can tailor-make my speciality to suit you as the client. My other areas of expertise are working with mental health patients for six-plus years, in private organisations and NHS Mental Health acute, CAMHs and forensic wards. I have helped clients break through obstacles that seemed to hold them back in life. As Life is a gift, I am here to help clients achieve a more positive outlook on life, and provide the client with all the tools necessary to get there. Let me help you learn and develop a better way to handle the difficulties that are standing in the way of your goals.

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.

Mark Sunderland

As your counsellor, I can help you by listening to whatever is troubling you the aim being to help you explore and understand the events or situation that have prompted you to seek help. I can help you explore any kind of problem, whether it is trying to make sense of a past life experience that is causing you some emotional pain, or a current problem that you are finding hard to cope with on your own, or perhaps a fear of something in the future which is holding you back. I strongly believe that having a safe space to talk, without judgment, can help you get clarity and empower you to move forward and make clear decisions about what you can do to improve your life.

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.

Lauren Erdwin

I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to share. We will work to explore situations at your pace to see how your emotions may be affecting you in the present day. This can be through set short-term or long-term work, my clients lead the sessions.

Dr. Livia Pontes

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. John Lincoln

I work intensively with men who have difficulties in their relation to themselves and to others, particularly those whose early life experiences have had an impact on their development, feelings, and functioning. I work with men who have suffered complex trauma and abuse and can help with the consequences of those experiences. I can help those with addictions and/or destructive relationships and/or behaviour. I have significant experience of working with men in conflict with their gender or sexuality.

Claire Hadfield

My aim is to empower you to use the therapeutic benefits of the great outdoors and to introduce you to practical strategies that help build a healthier mindset through Coaching Psychology. Sessions usually take place on the beautiful Cannock Chase, 2684 hectares of coniferous and broadleaf woodlands, in Staffordshire, England. I typically use principles from compassion focussed therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, solution focussed therapy and mindfulness. I offer a free telephone appointment to find out if this is the right approach for you.

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.
