Dipak Jilka - Psychotherapist & Counsellor
Therapist, Psychotherapy & Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) – PACFA Reg. Clinical 26570
The word “man” is often assumed to simply mean someone with a penis. Yet being a man is shaped by powerful social expectations about strength, success, sexuality, emotional control and relationships. These messages can feel restrictive, confusing or overwhelming — particularly if you don’t naturally fit the traditional script.
Many people with male bodies struggle silently with the pressure to “be a certain kind of man.” This can show up as anxiety, anger, shame, depression, sexual difficulties, relationship problems or a persistent sense of not feeling enough. Often, these struggles are not about weakness, but about trying to live within expectations that don’t truly fit.
I offer a respectful, non-judgmental space where you can explore your own experience of masculinity — separate from cultural pressure or rigid definitions. Together, we can examine the beliefs you’ve inherited, understand how they may be shaping your life, and support you in developing a more grounded, authentic and emotionally connected way of being.
You don’t have to carry the weight of expectation alone. Therapy can be a place to rediscover who you are — not who you’ve been told to be.

Michael Elwan
Registered Social Worker, PhD Candidate (Mental Health), MSW, GradCertMH, DipPsych, MBA
Many of the men I work with were told for most of their lives to cope better than they were. They function well, hold a lot, and arrive feeling flat, irritable, or quietly exhausted. The work is direct without being blunt. We slow things down enough to look at what is sitting underneath the coping (responsibility, grief, anger, things that were never spoken about) and find steadier ways through that don't depend on shutting down again.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
I have vast experience listening to many, many men's life stories. Thus I feel I have a good understanding of men's issues and how they can impact you when experiencing them. I can support you to find connection, strength and empowerment within your gender to restore balance, happiness and inner peace.
I can do this by using various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

As a PACFA Registered Clinical Counsellor (30041), I have extensive experience working with men around relationships, anxiety, anger, intimacy, responsibility, purpose and major life transitions. Many men I work with function well externally while privately struggling with pressure, disconnection or recurring patterns they cannot seem to shift. My approach is direct, grounded and non-judgemental, helping you understand what drives your reactions and develop greater emotional range, responsibility and choice.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Many men arrive in therapy having been taught, explicitly or otherwise, that vulnerability is a liability. I work to create a space where that’s not true, helping clients understand the scripts they’ve inherited about masculinity, control, and emotional expression, and build a more honest relationship with themselves and the people around them.

Mitchell Kovacs
Counsellor/Therapist, Level 2 Counsellor (ACA)
Being a male Therapist in our society I understand the expectations that are put on from people and also society as men to be a certain way or that self expression in any way is seen as weak. Because I went through the same issues myself before I become a Therapist. My job is to give you a space free of judgement and to treat you like any other person with feelings and emotions and help you through them.

Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Many men carry pressure to have it all together. To be the provider, the protector, the one who doesn't struggle, even when underneath, something feels off. If you're ready to stop carrying that alone, let's work together to help you find a healthier way forward.
The first step in working with men's issues is understanding that needing support isn't weakness, it's a sign of strength and self-awareness. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore the pressures, patterns, and expectations that have shaped how you show up in the world, and build a more authentic, sustainable way of being. My approach is direct, and focuses on accountability, self-compassion, and permission to be fully human.
You don't have to do this alone. Let's take the first step toward a life that feels more honest and whole.

Adam Kreuzer
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Diploma of Counselling, Professional Certificate of Adolescent Counselling
The role of a man in modern society is complex, challenging and often confusing. One of my greatest passions is working with men to understand that showing emotion is positive and healthy. Being vulnerable with your feelings and expressing them when needed is pivotal. I work with men of all ages and cultural backgrounds to develop a healthier sense of self, breaking down old-fashioned expectations of what a "strong man" should be.

Stephen Moore
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Counselling and Applied Psychotherapy (MCAP)
I see at least 50% men in therapy and I am so happy to see more and more guys reaching out. Our biggest killer in this country is suicide and especially seeing men realising it is not weak to speak up as been very rewarding to see.

Sydney's high cost of living, competitive job market, and population density create significant ongoing stress for residents, with therapists frequently addressing housing anxiety, burnout, and the pressures of maintaining relationships in a fast-paced city. The city has large Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Lebanese communities, and culturally competent and multilingual therapists are in consistent demand across its diverse suburban and inner-city neighbourhoods. Sydney's mental health landscape is supported by institutions including Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and the Black Dog Institute at UNSW, with a large private therapy community serving the CBD, Inner West, Northern Beaches, and Eastern Suburbs. Medicare rebates through Mental Health Treatment Plans make a significant number of sessions partially subsidised for eligible residents.
