Kristian Parsons

I am a fully trained Person Centred therapist with a Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I have over 500 hours of client experience offering longer term Person Centred therapy for clients who want to explore issues in more depth and I also offer short term Solution Focused therapy including CBT techniques for clients who wish to have a more directive shorter term approach. I am also a trained trauma coach. I specialise in Men's mental health.

I work with male clients on a regular basis and am fully aware of the challenges and difficulties men face, whether it be confidence issues with younger men, divorce, child access issues and loneliness with older men and the difficulties a lot of men face about opening up about their emotions. Being brought up or working in very masculine cultures can make a lot of men feel like issues with mental health and emotions are a weakness and can bring up feelings of shame or guilt. I offer a safe space to explore these issues in confidence.

I offer a free initial telephone consultation to explore the presenting issues and explain my practice. I will then forward my contract which will need to be signed and returned and we can begin working together.
