At The Counselling Practice, I work with men who are under pressure and just need a space to figure things out. Whether it’s burnout, anger, stress or relationship strain, this is support that actually holds up in real life, not just in the counselling room.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Looking for a Counsellor Near You Who Gets It?

When life gets heavy, it’s not always easy to ask for help.

Stress, relationship tension, burnout, anger, or just feeling stuck, whatever’s been building up, you’ve probably been carrying it alone for a while.

If you’ve searched “counsellor near me” and landed here, that might already be a big step.

At The Counselling Practice, I offer straight-up, real-world support that helps men across Manly, Balgowlah and the Northern Beaches get unstuck, feel clearer, and start moving forward.

Whether it’s relationships, emotions, decisions or just the feeling that something’s off, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

What you might be carrying

Some people come in knowing exactly what they want to work through. Others just know they’re not okay and that something needs to change.

Here’s what that can sound like:

  •  “I’m exhausted all the time, even when I’m not doing anything.”

  • “We argue over nothing and I don’t know why I react like this.”

  • “I’m scared I’m going to blow up at the wrong person.”

  • “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

  • “I’m worried this is just how life is now.”

You don’t need a label or diagnosis to ask for support. What matters is how it feel and what you want to do about it.

This is what a good counsellor does

You don’t need someone to nod and ask how that makes you feel. And you don’t need textbook advice that doesn’t hold up outside the therapy room.

As a male counsellor based in Manly, my job is to help you:

  •  Talk without being judged or fixed

  • Get honest about what’s really going on

  • Name the stuff that’s hard to say out loud

  • Find tools and shifts that actually work in real life

frequently asked questions

Q: Do I need a referral?

No referral is needed. You can book directly.

Q: Do you offer support for men and women?

No, I work exclusively with men, typically aged 35 to 65. When it comes to relationship challenges, I may also meet with my male clients’ partners if it supports the work we’re doing together. But my focus is always on backing men with the tools, clarity and support they need.

Q: What if I don’t know what I need yet?

You don’t need to know. You just need to show up. We’ll work it through together. Most clients feel lighter having had the opportunity to talk to someone about what is going on in their lives.

What Does Seeing a Counsellor Near You Actually Look Like?

If you’ve been searching “counsellor near me”, it’s probably because something isn’t sitting right. You might feel disconnected, stuck, burnt out, or just unsure how to keep holding it all together.

Seeing a counsellor doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you want something to change and you’re ready to look at it honestly.

Here’s how I work with people across Manly, Balgowlah, and the Northern Beaches.

It starts with where you’re at

  • You don’t need to have the perfect words. We start with what’s real.

  • What’s heavy? What’s been pushed aside for too long.

We name the pressure.

Whether it’s work stress, anger, relationship strain, or just feeling off, we slow things down and take a proper look at it.

We build from there

We unpack patterns, reactions, and what’s keeping you stuck.

Not to dwell, but to make sense of it. So you can start responding differently — with more clarity and control.

You get tools, not lectures

This isn’t about theory or fluff.

You walk away with language, frames and shifts that hold up when things get messy — at work, at home, or in your own head.

What to Expect When You Work With a Counsellor Near You

If you’ve never seen a counsellor before or had a bad experience in the past, here’s what to expect when we sit down together.

The first session

No pressure to open up fast. We’ll talk through what’s going on, what’s brought you in, and what would make this feel useful.

Regular catch-ups

Sessions can occur weekly or fortnightly, or monthly, depending on the schedule and what feels best for you.

Each time, we check in on what’s shifted and what still needs work.

A real conversation

You’re not being analysed. You’re not being fixed.

You’re in the room with someone who listens, gets it, and backs you with honesty and care.
