Specializing in mid-life issues for men aged 35-50
Stages of life play a big part in our mental health. The mid-life period often brings with it a process of rethinking the earlier stages of our lives, looking back and reflecting on how we are doing so far. With the excitement and promise of the teens, twenties and thirties fading, it can be a turbulent time of self-assessment and questioning. While this can sometimes help people consolidate and progress, it can also cause fears, disappointment and sadness.
My goal is to help clients navigate this period of your life as a force for growth and clarification, rather than confusion and depression.
Couples therapy
Long-term relationships often require hard work to maintain them. Creating a loving unit rather than a partnership of convenience means growing beyond the boundaries you knew as a single. In couples therapy, together we explore:
-
Seeing your partner for who they truly are and loving them for that, flaws and all
-
Accepting the reality of the difference between the two of you, and using that difference as a constructive force rather than a destructive one
-
Genuinely loving and being intimate despite also sometimes experiencing feelings of anger and hatred
-
The secrets of peaceful communication, even when needing to discuss emotionally charged issues
-
Separating issues which are your own struggles from those which are due to the relationship
-
Finding the balance between loving yourself and loving your spouse.
