Struggling but not sure where to turn?

I specialise in working with men who want to understand what’s really going on under the surface - men who are ready to stop white-knuckling life and start living more connected, meaningful lives.

Maybe you’ve been powering through, keeping busy, putting on a brave face. But underneath it all, things just don’t feel right. You might feel constantly on edge, flat, angry, or numb. Maybe you're stuck in patterns that aren't working anymore - like shutting down, pushing people away, or turning to things that help you cope in the moment but leave you feeling worse long-term.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone. These feelings often link back to unprocessed trauma, difficult early experiences, or the build-up of stress and pressure over time. While addiction, burnout, or emotional shutdown can feel like personal failure, they're often the body's way of trying to survive pain that's never been given space.

A Different Kind of Therapy I offer down-to-earth, straight-talking therapy that cuts through the jargon. Whether we work online or out in nature through Walk & Talk sessions, my aim is to make therapy feel approachable and real. No judgement. No pressure to "fix" yourself. Just space to explore what's going on and what you want to change.

I also offer longer outdoor therapy sessions - half or full days in Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales - for men who want time to slow down, breathe, and do deeper work away from the noise.

If you're interested in the Walk and Talk approach but not local to me, I also offer remote Walk and Talk sessions via WhatsApp. Get in touch to find out more.

Curious but Unsure? Let’s Chat. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. You don’t need to have all the answers - just a willingness to take that first step. If something about this resonates, drop me a message. We can set up a quick call to see if it feels like a good fit.

What I can help with: What I Can Help With: - Trauma and PTSD - Addiction and recovery support - Burnout and emotional shutdown - Anger, anxiety, and low mood - Disconnection in relationships - Feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed - Navigating big life transitions (fatherhood, separation, work stress)

Whether you’ve had therapy before or this is your first time reaching out, I meet you where you are - no pressure, no judgement.

Clients I work with: I work mainly with men - from young adults in their 20s to those in midlife and beyond - who are ready to explore what’s holding them back and start building a more meaningful, connected life. Some are in recovery from addiction, others are dealing with past trauma or just feel flat and directionless. All of them want something to shift.

If that sounds like you, get in touch.
