Therapy for men who don't feel like they're coping
On the outside, you look OK, like you’re coping.
But underneath, things don't feel quite right. Inside, you’re tired, overwhelmed or running on autopilot.
I work with men, including dads, in North London and online. If you're finding it harder than it looks, get in touch.
You might have spent years being the 'strong one', the 'organised one' or the one who 'just gets on with it'. There's nothing wrong with these things and they often help us to cope; but equally they can mask what's going on underneath.
You keep busy, push things down, carry on. I've done it myself. But then you realise that carrying on isn't really working any more.
Don't wait for things to fall apart
Don't wait until you're in crisis to come to therapy. Maybe your relationship isn't quite where you want it to be. Or you're successful but unhappy. Or there are things that you just feel you've never properly dealt with. Find out more about therapy for men.
If you want a therapist who understands the pressure of carrying so much, you’ll feel at home here.
A bit about me
I'm Rafi, a BACP-registered therapist (register number: 410735) based in North London. I woerked in senior communications role before I became a therapist. I have spent my career working with people dealing with pressure, responsibility and change.
There's often a big difference between how someone looks on the outside and what's going on underneath. That's something I've learned for myself....a lot! We compartmentalise, use our familiar 'shell' to mask our feelings and 'get on with it'. But eventually, that's not OK any more.
I work with men on many issues, including:
- Anxiety and stress. Helping you if your brain won't switch off and everything starts to get on top of you. Maybe you're fed up of holding everyone else together... but what about you?
- Relationships. Struggling to communicate or feeling disconnected? We can talk it through.
- Exhausted? If you're burnt out or running on empty, but everyone tells you to 'keep going'.
- Feeling stuck. If you're not feeling happy or fulfilled, we can work out why.
- Life changes. Becoming a dad, divorce, career change, loss or even just reaching that moment where you ask yourself what you really want.
What therapy with me is like
Therapy can feel strange at first (and even later on!), particularly if you're not used to talking about yourself.
But you don't need to 'be good at it' or know what you want to talk about and I won't try to change you.
It's a conversation. We'll chat. It might feel challenging and difficult (it probably will!).
But we'll figure out what's going on for you and why you respond how you do. We'll look at the stories you learned early in life, the roles you play and the behaviours that persevere long after they've stoppped serving us.
Any questions? They're answered here.
