Find a Therapist

Mr. Neil Jordan

I’m a Registered psychotherapist with the UKCP and have run my private practice full time for over 20 years. I am a Relational Psychotherapist so I work alongside my clients to explore issues that affect how they feel in their current lives and relationships as well as exploring the origins of these issues which sometimes stem from traumatic events in our developmental years. My goal is to help clients clarify what they want from life, explore what is holding them back and move through to deep and lasting change. I work with a wide range of presenting issues. Over the last 10 years I have worked with professional sportsmen and women and supported them through a range of issues which they encounter in their high profile, pressurised, daily lives.

As a man I appreciate how difficult it can be to speak about how we feel and I also know the benefits of taking this risk having had my own counselling and psychotherapy for many years.

Dr. John Hilsdon

Would you like someone to really listen to you – who will give you time and space to express how you are, or to explore what might be wrong, without making judgements about you? I’ve been working in this field for over twenty years and can offer a range of approaches for tackling issues such as depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship problems. You are welcome to text, email or call me for a free initial chat. See my website for more details about me, how I work and how to make contact.

Ms Gemma Pearson

I am a qualified practitioner psychologist with expertise in working with adult males who present with a range of mental health needs. I have over ten year’s experience of working in community and inpatient settings. I have helped to support individuals with depression, suicidal/ self harm behaviour, anxiety, anger management and relationship issues. I have a specialist interest in trauma and the development of personality. I take an integrative approach to therapy, including the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Mr. James Hawes

I specialise in working with boys and men helping them develop emotional fitness. I work with a variety of issues including anger, low mood, communication issues, relationship difficulties, shame, anxiety and increasing the ability to express a full range of emotions.

I have recently authored a new book called, ‘The Secret Lives of Men – Ten keys to unlock the mystery. See more here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Secret-Lives-Men-unlock-mystery/dp/1916279007

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.

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.

Iulian Chear

My work delves into issues such as shame, pressure to conform and the inability to connect with yourself, your body, and your emotions. I usually work with men at the intersection between race, neurodiversity, social class and faith who may feel that they are different, unable to be themselves, or are dissatisfied with themselves or with their lives.

I am quite open and easy to talk to, and I think I do well with men who are nervous about coming to therapy, who find it hard to open up or who have unusual issues that cause them shame.

I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist with a first degree in psychology and a doctorate in existential psychotherapy.

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.

Roger Harrison

I am a male counsellor and psychotherapist, working online and in-person for people living in Manchester (UK) and surrounding areas. I focus on helping people overcome drug addiction and alcohol addiction or related problems, compulsive sexual behaviours and use of pornography. Other issues I help men with include depression and anxiety, abuse and trauma, and sexuality.

Emotionalskills

Our purpose at Emotionalskills is to help clients re-discover the person they want to be.
Clients travel forward emotionally towards a positive emotional intelligence and a unique, contented balance with our support and guidance to facilitate self-development and positive personal change.

Note: We only recommend therapists who meet our minimum qualification standards, including accreditation with the BACP, UKCP, or HCPC, or those with at least Level 4 training.

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.

Lyn O’Callaghan

As an Integrative Counsellor, I tailor therapy to each client, as well as talking therapy, I draw from a diverse toolbox of techniques, such as CBT, EMDR and hypnosis. Having completed training specific to trauma and trauma-informed approaches, I am confident in my skills to scaffold clients while they learn ways to overcome obstacles, develop coping skills, and enhance their overall well-being. Through collaboration with my clients, they can explore concerns, build resilience and cultivate positive lasting change.
