Mental Health and Men
Therapy for men’s mental health is something we speak about a lot these days, which is great. The stigma that often used to go with men talking about their feelings is reducing, thanks to more and more people talking about their struggles. Good mental health, just like good physical health is something we can all strive for, but sometimes we need some support to keep us healthy.
Therapy for Men
That’s where therapy for men’s mental health comes in. Cognitive hypnotherapy is a form of therapy which uses both the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind. This can make it easier to create positive changes in a shorter space of time, than some traditional talking therapies. The support I provide is solution-focussed and evidence-based* and yet allows space and time for exploration and deep listening.

How Therapy Can Support Men
Therapy can support men’s mental health, in a non-intrusive and gentle way. For many men, who may have absorbed stereotypes of men having to be strong, opening up can be challenging. In my experience, my male clients share things in therapy that they have never expressed anywhere else. Lots of male clients have reported that they don’t want to add to the burden for their partners and want to relax when they meet friends. This means that many men don’t feel that they can talk openly to anyone.
Therapy can be a great solution to support you through changes in your life: in work relationships, changes to the family, loss and grief, personal relationships ending and more
If you are not sure whether to embark on working with a therapist or whether you need or want to work in this way, get in touch.

I am unable to work with clients with certain conditions, as hypnotherapy is contraindicated. Please let me know if you have a diagnosed condition, so I can ensure that hypnotherapy is safe for you.
