Men's Issues
Dr Paul Garden
Psychologist, Doctorate in Psychology, DPsych, MSc with Distinction, BSc First Class Honours.
What it means to be a man is currently under the microscope at a societal level. Terms such as 'Toxic Masculinity' are frequently used, but often not adequately understood. Not uncommonly men are feeling marginalised and demonised. I often work with men who want to think about masculinity and what it means to them, and similarly about what it means to be a man more generally.

Men's Issues
Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
As the nature of masculinity changes within modern society, men seem increasingly in crisis. ten years ago 90% of my clients were female, now 50% are male. Men are struggling with their sense of identity, their role in society, and how to deal with mental and physical health challenges that present themselves.
My works helps men to uncover their authentic masculinity and become better husbands, fathers, managers, friends and sons.

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.

As a man, I am able to deal with men's issues in any area. I am able to help offer the Anima (feminine) part of me that is in contact, as a nurturing and sensitive parent, which is therapy offering parenting, which incorporates the mothering teaching relationship too.

Belfast's complex history — encompassing decades of sectarian conflict during the Troubles, the Good Friday Agreement, and ongoing peace process work — shapes a therapy culture in which community trauma, intergenerational grief, and political identity are recurring clinical themes. The city has made significant strides in mental health awareness, and a growing generation of therapists trained through Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University brings contemporary approaches to a city still processing historical wounds. Belfast Health and Social Care Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in South Belfast and the university quarter. The relative normalisation of therapy-seeking among younger Belfast residents represents a meaningful cultural shift from earlier generations.
