Do you feel like you’re performing your life instead of living it? Maybe everything looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel anxious or uncertain – without knowing exactly what you want to change, or why. You’re not alone in feeling this way.

I help men explore the deeper questions behind their identity, relationships or life struggles – not just what’s happening, but what it means to them – so they can reconnect with themselves, make clearer choices and move from acting in life to authoring their future. My approach is warm and respectful, so you can be honest without fear of judgment. You’re welcome to book a free intro call – no pressure, just a chat.

‘Something incredible happens when you open up to another human who you click with and who is trained to listen and support.’

The way I work is flexible. I meet you as an individual and will accept you exactly as you are, and try to see the world through your eyes. I will listen to you, really hear you and will be as genuine as I can, offering you time and space to find the answers you are looking for.

Years in practice: 5
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Are you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or like you’re just going through the motions? Battling depression, anxiety, or the weight of past trauma? Many men struggle in silence, but you don’t have to. Reaching out takes real courage – and you’ve already shown that by being here.

I’m Jeff, a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach who specialises in men’s mental health. As a male counsellor, I get it – I understand the pressure to “man up,” the difficulty of opening up, and how hard it can be to ask for support. I work with men of all ages: young adults navigating life transitions, dads struggling to connect with their teenagers, and men processing relationship challenges, work stress, or past trauma.

My trauma-informed approach combines emotional healing with practical strategies. We’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck while building real tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and showing up as the man you want to be. You deserve genuine understanding and lasting change.

Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Warrington Vale & Royal College
Years in practice: 5
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work using the Person-Centred (or Humanistic) approach, which is often referred to as the “how does that make you feel?” style of therapy. However, a more accurate description would be I focus on building a supportive relationship where we can view the world from your perspective, and we work together to make changes that you want. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and have the ability to solve your own problems but recognise that sometimes an “outsiders” support and perspective can be helpful. I aim to create a non-judgmental safe space to explore your world using empathy, honesty and unconditional positive regard helping us to work through the thoughts, feelings and issues that are impacting you.
