PROMOTING AWARENESS AND SUPPORTING MEN 'S MENTAL HEALTH & WELL-BEING

Hello and a warm welcome. I am Richard, a qualified counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I am based in Yeovil, Somerset. Offering short and long-term therapy, I work with all adults and young people who come to me with a diverse range of presenting issues. I provide both face-to-face and online counselling with availability during the day and evenings.

I understand that many men often face unique challenges that can be daunting to address. As a male counsellor, I can empathise deeply with the difficulties men encounter concerning their mental well-being. I believe it is time to confront the stereotypes, dismantle the silence, and openly acknowledge the mental health struggles that many men endure.

It is a common expectation for men to be stoic and resilient to emotional turmoil. However, I know that many men struggle with anxiety, depression, relationships and low self-esteem. I want you to know that I am here to support you, and I want to emphasise that seeking counselling is not a weakness but a courageous step, a show of strength toward healing and self-discovery.

Having personally experienced and overcome anxiety & depression, I understand the stigma and challenges many men face when dealing with their mental health. Therefore, I am committed to providing a safe and empathic space where men can freely express their emotions, fears, and worries. I understand that men, like anyone else, experience a wide array of emotions, and acknowledging these feelings is the first step towards growth.

In my practice, I use an integrative approach that combines different therapeutic methods, such as CBT, person-centred and psychodynamic theory. This allows me to tailor the therapy to your specific needs and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. I work with you to explore and understand your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours and how they affect your well-being.

I don’t give advice or tell you what to do, but rather, I empower you to find your own solutions and make positive changes in your life. My purpose is to guide you through life's obstacles, providing understanding and support every step of the way.

If you are interested in working with me, don't hesitate to contact me to book your FREE 15-minute initial phone consultation.

I look forward to hearing from you.
