Men's Therapy in Digbeth, Birmingham
Support for men from someone who understands the pressure of trying to fix it all alone.
Does This Sound Familiar?
When things fall apart, or just feel quietly wrong, it’s easy to tell yourself you should be able to handle it. It's common to feel like asking for help means you’ve failed, or that something is fundamentally broken even when things look fine from the outside.
You might recognise yourself in these feelings:
-
Lost or disconnected: Going through the motions, unsure who you are outside of work or relationships.
-
Holding it together (barely): Anger, loneliness, or anxiety that keeps showing up even when you're trying to move on.
-
At a crossroads: Navigating a breakup, career change, trying to find a sense of purpose, or realising an old "script" doesn't fit anymore.
-
Struggling to connect: Repeating patterns in relationships, withdrawing from the world or shutting down when things get hard.
Hey, you. That's called being human. You're not weak. You're not worthless, and you don't deserve the beating that voice in your head keeps giving you.
So, what might things look like when you stop holding yourself to an impossible standard and allow someone to help?
How Counselling Helps
I’m not here to tell you to "man up" or to dismantle everything masculinity means to you. My approach combines Narrative and Solution-Focused therapy to help you create real change. In practice, this means we will:
-
Examine the stories: Look at the scripts you’ve absorbed about who you should be.
-
Focus on clarity: Explore what is getting in the way of the life you actually want.
-
Build on Strengths: Discover the tools you already have to move forward with confidence.
Through that work, a lot of men find they develop a clearer sense of what they actually value, rather than what they are "supposed" to want. Common changes include:
-
Understanding Emotions : Learning to work with what you feel instead of suppressing or performing strength.
-
Better Relationships: Communicating honestly and letting people in without losing yourself.
-
Clear Direction: Moving from feeling "stuck" to having a sense of where you are going and why.
Most of the men I work with aren't in complete meltdown, by the way. But they're tired of pushing through the day-to-day, being busy but feeling stuck, and are ready for something to actually shift.
Location & Fees
I provide sessions in my room at the Greenhouse, which is just a short walk from the city center, with evening and weekend availability to fit around your work schedules. All sessions are 60 minutes in length and I charge £60 for individual counselling.
Questions You May Have
I’ve never done this before. Will it be awkward?
Reaching out seems like a big step, especially if you're worried about opening up to a stranger. I've sat in the chair as a client too. I know how daunting it can feel. So I'll meet you with curiosity rather than judgement, creating a space where you don't have to pretend that you have it all together.
How is your approach different for men?
We explore the "scripts" you’ve absorbed about the kind of man you should be. We don't just talk about feelings for the sake of it; we examine how things like work, relationships, and expectations are impacting you to find a clearer sense of direction.
Does your background as a Black man influence the therapy?
Yes. I understand that for many people, for various reasons, counselling is still seen as "not for people like us". I recognise the cultural weight around asking for help that can come from culture, ethnicity, class, or how you were raised, and I bring that understanding into our sessions.
