Being a man who's lived with poor mental health for over 40 years, along with my qualifications and experience, I'm extremely passionate and knowledgeable about all areas of men's physical and mental health.

In terms of psychological distress both men and women suffer many problems in common. However, each gender role has its own challenges. For every problem there is a solution. This is an area in which I am very happy to assist.
It doesn't take much for external circumstances and associated changes of how we think for this to have a negative impact our sex lives, whether this is an inexorable diminishment in intimacy or physical changes that affect our lives. Neuroplasticity has shown that impotence from prostate surgery, for example, is not inevitable: the brain can and does develop new pathways when old ones become dysfunctional. Lack of confidence with potential partners is often due to a fear of not being good enough or an unwillingness to risk being rejected. And uncertainty about aspects of male sexuality can also be resolved.

I'm experienced in supporting men who are childless, whose partners have gone through various fertility problems, miscarriage, or secondary infertility, which is a topic that men have very few opportunities to discuss.
