Male Therapists in Western Cape
Personal well-being is our natural state, but things can sometimes go awry. To cope and to be fully you, one needs to dig deep, and offer oneself the chance to reflect, and regroup positively. I aim to assist in talk therapy by collaboratively addressing mental health symptoms with patients using clear-minded truth-finding and warm solidarity.

In practice, I work from an eclectic approach as I have found therapeutic flexibility to be helpful in meeting my patients’ needs. My therapeutic approach mainly draws initially from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Insight-Oriented and Psychodynamic psychotherapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). If need be, I will use other modalities.

I work with the array of mental health disorders and difficulties. In particular, I take a special interest in the treatment of complex trauma — that is the effects of repeated or chronic physical, sexual, or emotional abuses, violences, or traumas in childhood, relationships, or society. In addition, I address adjacent acute issues of severe anxiety and panic, trauma related dissociative states, and mood disturbances (including chronic and treatment resistant depression).

Chronic stress, depression and trauma wreaks havoc on our lives. There is this constant feeling of being alone, confused, overwhelmed, which leaves us feeling depleted each day. This causes all kinds of issues in our health, relationships and the perception of ourselves and the world around us. Constantly being stuck in these states causes us to have fewer options and makes the future seem quite bleak and hopeless. I can imagine what you are longing for is someone to really listen, support and gently guide you in a direction of growth, resilience and living life to it's fullest potential.

My speciality is all types of addictions or compulsive behaviours. These behaviours are usually accompanied by huge amounts of shame which makes individuals reluctant to ask for help. Sometimes individuals are hopeless due to attempting many solutions with little results. It takes couradge and motivation to change your current situation. Where the fear of staying the same outweighs the fear of change. Well done for taking the first step in living more effectively.

On the surface, it seems like things are okay. Objectively you have the things that society says is suppose to make you happy - yet you are not happy. You are overwhelmed with anxiety and dissatisfaction. No matter what you do, or force yourself to do, you just don't find it in anything. The last time you felt true joy was as a child on the playground. It seems as if though everyone around you is doing extremely well, so what is wrong with you for not feeling the same. This feeling is more common than you think. You are not as alone as you might think.

I'm a strengths-based clinician. Because of life's challenges, we sometimes neglect our personal strengths and focus on our deficits or weaknesses, resulting in a life devoid of meaning and purpose. In therapy, I collaborate with my clients to identify their unique strengths and challenge them to utilize these attributes both in their intra and interpersonal relationships. Our signature strengths can shift our thinking and behaviour from a mental health state of languish to a state of flourish and wellness.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
