TOGETHER WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP PRACTICAL SKILLS FOR BALANCING THE PRESSURES THAT COME WITH PROVIDING FOR THE FAMILY WHILE ALSO BEING A FULLY PRESENT AND ENGAGED FATHER.
You're used to being known as " Mr Reliable" by your family, your friends, your work colleagues. For a while though something has felt wrong. Rather than feeling like "Mr Reliable" you feel exhausted, defeated, that things aren't quite going to plan. You've noticed a big dip in your motivation levels, you've let your relationship slide, you're feeling anxious and depressed. Trying to hide how you feel only makes you feel worse - you take your frustrations out on the ones you love.
We get it. You haven't arrived here because you want to be here. But you know that you need some help. It takes courage and strength to ask for help.
At the Male Room, we're focused on men's issues. We use therapies you can understand to address your real-life problems. So if you're ready to turn problems into goals, goals into successes, and successes into solutions - then we are too. Let’s work together to help you!
HI, I'M DAVID
After running my own successful coffee roastery for close to 20 years I thought I had everything sorted. The truth was I had sacrificed a lot to get there. I was exhausted, anxious and depressed. I decided I needed some help and started to see a counsellor.
By this time I was in my early 40s - it changed my life. A few years later I decided to sell my business and re-train as a counsellor myself after encouragement from my own long time counsellor!
I decided to dedicate my practice to men's mental health and haven't looked back! Its been an awesome journey and I hope to be able to help more men overcome the difficult patches that life inevitably throws at us through a values-based practice model.
TESTIMONIALS
JJ, Randwick
I really do recommend David and his approach to anyone looking to gain an insight into their own thinking and reasons for why they do what they do and are where they are in life.
Steve, Clovelly
I took part in the Men’s group facilitated by David. He lead the meetings well, and kept the conversation focused on the topic. We were all treated equally and I felt that everyone was heard and had time to talk.
