About me

Book and Intro Call: https://www.davidohara.co.uk/contact For Men Navigating Life's Challenges Are you feeling stuck, stressed, or struggling to find your way? As men, we're often expected to "power through" or "tough it out" when life gets difficult. Many of us reach a point where we realize that navigating these challenges alone doesn't have to be the only option. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, or just that nagging feeling that something's missing, I get it. As a male therapist, I understand the unique pressures men face today – because I've faced them too. A Different Kind of Therapy for Men I offer a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy that respects where you are right now. You'll find a space for authentic conversations without psychological jargon or judgment. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with - just real discussions that actually help. In our sessions, you'll find: - A space where you can speak honestly without being judged - Practical strategies that work in your everyday life - Support in figuring out what you actually want, not what you "should" want - A balance between talking through issues and finding concrete solutions My approach combines person-centered therapy with mindfulness techniques, giving you both emotional support and tangible tools to navigate life's challenges. Why Men Choose to Work With Me: - I keep it real: Therapy doesn't have to feel clinical or awkward - Collaborative exploration: We'll work together to find practical tools that create meaningful change - Shared experience: My background in both psychology and the business world helps me understand the pressures modern men face - Male perspective: Sometimes it helps to work with someone who inherently understands certain aspects of the male experience The hardest part is walking through the door for the first time - but it's also the beginning of change, and it gets easier from there. Book your free 15-minute consultation today. No pressure, no obligation - just a straightforward conversation to see if we're a good fit and how therapy might help you move forward. You've handled things on your own for long enough. Let's tackle this together. https://calendly.com/wellbeing-highpeak/intro-call My Expertise: - Anxiety and stress management - Depression and low mood - Career pressure and burnout - Self-confidence and authentic identity - Relationship challenges - Life transitions and decision-making Location: In-person at Riverside Well-being Centre, Whaley Bridge or The Royal Exchange Manchester. Online via a secure video platform Free Consultation: 15-minute introductory call available https://www.davidohara.co.uk/contact Take the first step today – you don't have to figure this out alone.
