Ben Sears

I am a qualified counsellor with nearly 10 years of experience. I specialise in working therapeutically with men and boys, and my experience in education and sports development has helped to develop my understanding of the issues faced by them. I believe an understanding and acceptance of sex differences between men and women is important in enabling clients to understand their patterns of behaviour and how they relate to others and the world around them. and that this understanding can help to bring about lasting positive change.

I work with all issues that men may want to bring to therapy, but when we really listen to men, there are often common themes which arise with men, such as shame and guilt, anger and frustration, and difficulty in finding focus and purpose in their lives. I combine aspects of different therapeutic approaches which I believe chime with men to help to understand and conceptualise the sources of meaning and purpose in a man's life, exploring his values and beliefs and considering whether his life currently aligns with them before introducing techniques to help bring about alignment.

Our first session will involve an open conversation about your background, what has brought you to counselling, and what you would like help with. Either email, text, or call me to arrange and initial free 20 minute consultation.
