It can be daunting attending therapy for the first time and talking about personal issues. Your relationship with your therapist is the most important factor in your success; you need to feel a connection in terms of communication, trust, comfort and safety during your sessions. I therefore offer a complimentary, no-obligation call so we can chat with no expectations or pressure. You do not fit in a pre-made mould and neither should your therapy. As such, I implement a blended therapeutic approach which is client-centered; this means you are in the driver’s seat at all times. I work only with proven, evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

I am a registered Psychotherapist with a special interest in helping men who can get ‘stuck’ and struggle with transitions in life such as retirement from sport, losing a job, divorce, re-locating or simply helping you to figure out a purpose for what comes next. My approach is simple; non-judgmental, open and empathetic to client experiences. I take a broad perspective to understanding my client experiences and integrate historical information to formulating a plan to help clients resolve problems now. Depression, anxiety disorders, loneliness, anger and substance abuse are key areas that I specialize in.

Hi! I’m Michael, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) specializing in talk and somatic therapy. I have education in health systems and relational therapy.

Interpersonal relationships play a central role in our mental health over our lifespan, and taking time to reflect on our closest relationships, or ourselves can be grounding and stress relieving. In a session with me, you can expect to tap into your feelings and dilemmas, get creative with problem-solving and sit with the unknown, all while being in a safe, receptive, and inclusive space.

My specific areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, self-harm, existentialism, interpersonal conflicts, spirituality, and burnout. I offer a trauma-informed and inclusive space.

Fit is everything in therapy, without it you can feel like you’re spinning your wheels wasting time and money, just not getting the results you want from your investment. The men who work well with me prefer someone who is no-nonsense, likes to laugh, swears a lot, and does not take themselves too seriously,. At the same time, I’m down for tackling serious, dark, gnarly issues that you may never have been willing to even say out loud.

I’m also a semi-retired dentist (weird combo, I know), with extensive expertise in chronic pain and serious health issues. I work with pain patients and caregivers to manage the wear and tear that pain and illness has on folks and their families.

Sound like maybe a good fit? Reach out.
