Have you been finding yourself irritable and getting angry more often than usual?

Have you noticed you have been lashing out at others, feeling on tens, or holding things inside until they explode?

Anger is a human emotion which is normal to experience at times. However, when it starts to feel out of control or leaves you feeling ashamed and remorseful, it may be a sign that something much deeper is going on without you knowing.

If you have been experiencing these symptoms it can be helpful to explore them in a therapy setting. We have male therapists who focus on supporting men in addressing these difficulties

Changing the ADHD narrative

In the last few years, the conversation around ADHD has changed tremendously.

During COVID, when people suddenly started working or learning from home, many people recognised for the first time how utterly dependent they were on the scaffolding of having others around to observe their working habits and behaviour.

This coincided with the emergence of TikTok, which provided a platform for people to hear for the first time actual neurodivergent people talk about their lived experience of neurodivergence.

This boom in awareness and understanding of ADHD has helped so many people access support and find community.

If you’re needing support with ADHD, don’t hesitate to reach out and book an appointment.

Are you feeling the pressure to have your whole career figured out as a young adult?

Maybe it seems like everyone around you has a clear path, a dream job, or big plans, leaving you questioning your direction, feeling left behind or wondering if you are good enough.

It might feel easy to fall into the trap of comparison, especially when you are exposed to other people’s major success milestones.

If you are feeling lost about your career path, therapy can offer space to explore career directions by addressing your fears, clarifying your goals and build confidence in embracing the path forward.

Remember, there is no deadline on finding your way.

If you would like to explore your career, be it study or employment, reach out and book an appointment with our team.

Taking a break from work can feel like you’re wasting time or falling behind.

But sometimes hitting pause can be the smartest decision you make.

It can be useful to invest time in clearing up what really matters to you, and not what really matters on paper.

So when you’ve decided to stop settling and start choosing, please reach out.

Kobe reminds us how important it is to slow down, be present, and savour life’s simple joys — like basking in the warmth of the spring sun.

Do you ever find yourself thinking, I don’t even know what I’m into anymore?

You wake up, go to work, run errands, and go to sleep. Somewhere along the way, you lose touch with what once interested you, and everything starts to feel flat.

Therapy doesn’t aim to force a big life change. Instead, it helps you reconnect with what actually matters.

Have a think about if you're overdue for something more meaningful in your life.

And if feel like you need some support, don’t hesitate to reach out and book an appointment.

Are you feeling the pressure to have your whole career figured out as a young adult?

Maybe it seems like everyone around you has a clear path, a dream job, or big plans, leaving you questioning your direction, feeling left behind or wondering if you are good enough.

It might feel easy to fall into the trap of comparison, especially when you are exposed to other people’s major success milestones.

But the truth is, it may not be as normal as you think to have it all figured out straight away. Uncertainty may not mean that you have failed, but that you are still growing in the direction of your goals.

If you are feeling lost about your career path, therapy can offer space to explore your fears, reframe success as per your own beliefs and build confidence in embracing the unknown right now.

Remember, there is no deadline on finding your way.

Do you feel the pressure of providing for others, like you are expected to always keep a consistent and secure position regarding work, finances and other responsibilities for those you care about?

For many men, this pressure can feel overwhelming, bringing stress, anxiety and a sense that there is no room for struggle, doubt or shortcomings.

Trying to carry this responsibility alone can leave you feeling isolated and exhausted, like there is no space to admit when things are hard.

Having these responsibilities does not mean you have to do it all without support.
Therapy can help you explore these pressures, find varied and practical ways to cope and build resilience without losing yourself in the process.

Think about how well you are coping with these issues at the moment and whether you are prepared to provide for yourself as well.

Do you ever feel like asking for help is a sign of weakness?

Men can carry a deep sense of shame around needing support, believing they should be able to handle the unrelenting challenges of life on their own.

The pressure to be independent, in control and competent can make reaching out feel daunting and shameful.

Needing help is not a flaw, it’s vulnerability that is part of being human. It may be useful to begin reframing help seeking amid hardship, stigma and vulnerability as a bold and courageous sign of wisdom and strength.

Mental health professionals can offer a judgment-free first step to see what this feels like. They may help you to explore feelings of shame and break free from the idea that you have to face everything alone.

Consider how your life might change if you were to harness the courage you already have and channel it in a new way.

“As a psychologist working with young people, I focus on helping them understand their patterns and triggers. When we understand ourselves, it’s easier to know what we need and which strategies will help.

I use humour and a box of fidget toys, and in early sessions we often explore anxiety. Since it can be hard for teenagers to describe what’s happening, I share examples of common symptoms, triggers, thoughts, and behaviours. This sparks conversation, builds awareness, and helps normalise their experience.”
