Men's Issues
Cameron Wharram
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
Men often feel pressure to hide their struggles, whether it’s stress, anger, relationship challenges, or the weight of expectations. In therapy, we create space to explore these experiences without judgment, focusing on what truly matters to you. My aim is to help you connect with your values and build a life that feels authentic, while strengthening practical skills for managing emotions, handling conflict, and improving communication. Together, these approaches support healthier relationships, greater resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

Men's Issues
Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
For many men, the pressure to always appear strong, successful, and completely in control comes at a massive personal cost. On paper, you may be the reliable anchor for everyone else—taking care of business, navigating career demands, and managing relationship strains. But privately, holding yourself to these relentless standards leaves you feeling profoundly lonely, exhausted, and stuck with a silent sense of low mood or anxiety. Society often tells men to push through the stress, causing you to disconnect from your own body and your true direction.I provide a dedicated, non-judgmental space specifically tailored to navigating men’s issues, high-achievement burnout, and major life hardships. In our sessions, we drop the expectation to "fix" everything instantly and instead look collaboratively at what is happening beneath the surface. We utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle unhelpful patterns, tame a loud inner critic, and build practical, everyday mindset tools.Because men often internalize stress as physical tension, chronic fatigue, or irritability, we go beyond traditional talk therapy. We integrate somatic tools, breathing techniques, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. This allows us to safely bypass the analytical mind, helping your nervous system process and release the hidden emotional material, self-doubt, or unspoken grief you’ve been hanging onto for years. Whether you are navigating a divorce, a career transition, or a total loss of direction, you don't have to carry the weight alone. Together, we will build a more intentional, resilient, and grounded path forward.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
I am a human being, devoted to personal growth, equality and justice. I'm also a woman who may be able to bring a fresh perspective to men's issues. I have raised 4 sons and both love and understand men. I also spent years working in construction, surrounded by men. I have a good understanding of men and the issues that face them. We are living in very difficult times for men: the expectations of society have changed quickly and dramatically. However, a man's life today can be richer than any time in history and I would love to work with you to explore that prospect!

Men's Issues
Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we recognize that men face a unique set of barriers to seeking support, and that better therapeutic outcomes happen when a counsellor genuinely understands and accounts for the specific experience of masculinity rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. We know that for many men, simply walking through the door is an act of courage, and our therapists meet that courage with an engaged, dialogue-based style of therapy that feels less like talking to a wall and more like a meaningful conversation with a purpose. Whether the presenting concern is stress, anger, depression, chronic pain, or a deeper sense of disconnection, our work with men operates on two levels: addressing the immediate challenge while also exploring how cultural expectations around masculinity may have contributed to it in the first place.

Jonah Fialkow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As a therapist, my approach to working with men's issues is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a commitment to dismantling harmful stereotypes and societal pressures that affect men. I recognize that men, like everyone else, experience a wide range of emotions, but often face unique challenges in expressing and processing them due to societal expectations of masculinity.
In therapy, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where men can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely. I encourage open communication and validation of emotions, emphasizing that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength. I work collaboratively with my male clients to identify and challenge any unhelpful beliefs or behaviours that may be contributing to their distress or inhibiting their personal growth
