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.
We work with men around issues of depression, anxiety, relationship or sexual problems, anger management, performance issues, abuse, domestic violence and other problems using Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness Therapies including trauma therapy.
As the nature of masculinity changes within modern society, men seem increasingly in crisis. ten years ago 90% of my clients were female, now 50% are male. Men are struggling with their sense of identity, their role in society, and how to deal with mental and physical health challenges that present themselves.
My works helps men to uncover their authentic masculinity and become better husbands, fathers, managers, friends and sons.

What it means to be a man is currently under the microscope at a societal level. Terms such as 'Toxic Masculinity' are frequently used, but often not adequately understood. Not uncommonly men are feeling marginalised and demonised. I often work with men who want to think about masculinity and what it means to them, and similarly about what it means to be a man more generally.
