1-2-1 Talking and Peer Support for Men in Somerset.

I aim to provide an open-minded, talking- and/or action-based support service for men who may feel lost or overwhelmed. As someone with long experience of peer-support work and life's struggles, I understand that the very real worries, fears, concerns and stresses we men face are sometimes not taken as seriously as they should be.

I have many years of peer support and mentoring experience, both practical and emotional, working with young people and adults experiencing a variety of crises and life issues.

I am qualified to NFCE CACHE Level 3 in Counselling Skills, and Level 4 certified in Advanced Counselling Skills, Life Coaching and Mindfulness for Stress. I also hold an HND in Social Policy and Criminology. I am continuously updating my qualifications, certifications, memberships and CPD.

Fully therapy insured and DBS certified.

Are you NOT FEELING YOUR BEST? Need support getting back on track? Or perhaps you've lost PURPOSE OR DIRECTION?

Men, particularly in middle-age, are often overlooked in modern times, despite the fact that we as a group continue to contribute to the highest suicide risk in the UK. There are many factors - DEPRESSION, GRIEF, HEALTH CONCERNS, RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWNS, MORTALITY CRISIS, REDUNDANCY OR PROFESSIONAL REGRESSION, LOSS OF PURPOSE OR IDENTITY - but not having someone to talk to should never be one of them.

I consider many forms of therapy to be beneficial, including mindfulness and relaxation techniques, as well as simply talking and listening. I may also guide you toward other specialist resources if I feel it to be beneficial.

I may just as likely recommend relaxation and zen practices as offer life-coaching, conventional therapeutic talking/listening and person-centred peer-support. For those who have a clearer goal for change, I can help you to identify a path and plan.

Whether you just want someone to listen for an hour or two, help you talk things through, or you want to get to work on finding and achieving your IDEAL SELF, with a STRUCTURED SUPPORT JOURNEY, for a more goal-oriented objective, get in touch for your FREE ONLINE FACE-TO-FACE CONSULTATION.

Self-referred clients only.
