Men's Issues
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.

Counsellor/Therapist, GradDipBA, GradDipMgmt(Learning), AdvDipOHS, DipCouns, DipQA, CertIV TAE
Men often carry emotional burdens quietly, feeling pressure to stay strong, cope alone, or avoid vulnerability.
I provide a safe, grounded space where men can talk openly about stress, anger, relationships, identity, and expectations.
Together, we work on emotional awareness, communication, and building healthier coping strategies.

Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons), B.Sc. (Psych)
Many men learn early that vulnerability is a liability, which can make reaching out for support feel unfamiliar. A long-standing interest in attachment, masculinity norms and men's help-seeking has shaped my understanding of the social expectations that can make support difficult to access. I work with men experiencing emotional shutdown, avoidance, anger, withdrawal, overwork, numbness or difficulty expressing emotions, particularly where these patterns affect relationships.

You may be carrying more than you let others see, trying to work things out on your own while feeling stuck, disconnected or simply not like yourself anymore. Perhaps you've lost confidence, direction or a sense of who you are. I specialise in Men's Mental Health, helping you make sense of what's happening, gain clarity and work towards greater confidence, resilience, purpose and direction.
