Counselling Boys and men in Gloucestershire
Face-to-Face & Online Counselling for Boys and Men in Cheltenham, Moreton-in-Marsh, the Cotswolds & Across the UK
At Acorn Therapy, I offer specialised, non-judgemental face-to-face and online counselling for boys, young men and adult men aged 16 and over in Cheltenham, Moreton-in-Marsh, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire and across the UK.
Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction, loneliness or a challenging period in your life, counselling provides a confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly without fear of judgement.
I offer face-to-face counselling in Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, including around Cheltenham and Moreton-in-Marsh, as well as online counselling for clients throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and internationally.
Many boys and men struggle with emotional difficulties but may find it difficult to ask for help. You may feel that you are expected to cope on your own, keep your emotions under control or simply get on with things. Seeking counselling is not a sign of weakness. It can be a positive step towards understanding yourself, developing healthier ways of coping and improving your emotional wellbeing.
My role is to provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment where you can explore what is happening in your life at your own pace.
Why Men’s Counselling?
Men can carry significant emotional and psychological burdens without talking about them. Sometimes this can show itself through anger, withdrawal, relationship difficulties, excessive work, substance use or other behaviours rather than openly expressed emotions.
Through counselling, we can explore what may be behind these difficulties, develop healthier coping strategies and begin to break unhelpful patterns.
Therapy can help you better understand your emotions, improve relationships, manage difficult situations and develop greater emotional resilience.
Issues I Can Help With
I offer counselling for a wide range of concerns, including:
- Anxiety, depression and low mood
- Anger and emotional regulation
- Stress, burnout and feeling overwhelmed
- Relationship and intimacy difficulties
- Divorce, separation and infidelity
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress
- Substance use and behavioural addictions
- Pornography, gaming and gambling concerns
- Parenting and co-parenting difficulties
- Sexual health and relationship concerns
- Career stress and workplace difficulties
- Major life changes and transitions
- Loneliness, isolation and grief
- Identity, masculinity and self-esteem
- Gender and sexuality
- Difficulties adjusting to adulthood
- Family and interpersonal difficulties
What Are ‘Men’s Issues’?
Men’s issues are not simply about anger, addiction or difficulty expressing emotions.
They can include the quieter struggles that are often hidden from others — loneliness, grief, relationship breakdown, low self-worth, feeling disconnected from family and friends, pressure to succeed, uncertainty about the future or simply feeling that something isn’t right.
Counselling provides an opportunity to slow down, make sense of what you are experiencing and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. You simply need a willingness to talk.
Face-to-Face & Online Counselling in Gloucestershire and Across the UK
If you are based in Cheltenham, Moreton-in-Marsh, Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Northleach, Cirencester, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Stroud or the surrounding Cotswolds and Gloucestershire areas, I offer face-to-face counselling, subject to availability.
For clients further afield, online counselling provides a flexible way to access professional support from the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Whether you choose face-to-face or online counselling, the focus remains the same: providing you with a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can explore your concerns and work towards meaningful change.
As a male Integrative Counsellor, I work with each person as an individual. My approach is tailored to your circumstances, experiences and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
You Don’t Have to Face It Alone
Talking about what you’re experiencing can be the first step towards change.
If you are looking for face-to-face or online men’s counselling in Cheltenham, Moreton-in-Marsh, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire or anywhere across the UK, Acorn Therapy offers a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space to talk.
You don’t have to face everything on your own. Let’s talk — your wellbeing matters.
For a man, getting support is not a sign of weakness, but a powerful step towards personal transformation and positive change.
Professional Counselling for Boys and Men in Cheltenham, Moreton-in-Marsh & the Cotswolds
Boys and men can respond to emotional challenges in ways that are sometimes difficult to recognise or understand. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, anger, stress, low self-esteem, or addictive behaviours, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed—mentally, emotionally, and psychologically.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face these challenges alone. At Acorn Therapy, I provide confidential, professional counselling for boys and men in Cheltenham, Moreton-in-Marsh, the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, and across the UK.
I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, explore what you’re experiencing, and develop healthier and more constructive ways of coping with life’s challenges.
What to Expect from Counselling
1. Free 25-Minute Online Consultation
Your free, no-obligation consultation gives you an opportunity to meet me, ask questions, and talk about what has brought you to counselling. We can discuss what you hope to gain from therapy and whether counselling with me feels like the right fit for you.
If you decide to continue, you’ll receive a Welcome Email with access to the secure Client Portal, where you can complete the necessary consent and registration forms.
2. Initial Counselling Appointment
Your first full 50-minute counselling session gives you the opportunity to talk about your experiences in greater depth. We may explore areas such as family, education, friendships, relationships, work, and personal challenges.
Together, we’ll identify what you would like to work on and develop a counselling approach tailored to your individual needs, circumstances, and pace.
Who I Work With
I provide counselling for boys and young men aged 16 and over, as well as men at different stages of life, including:
- Teenagers and students
- Young adults
- Sons and brothers
- Professionals and working men
- Fathers and partners
- Men navigating midlife and later-life challenges
Whether you’re struggling with school or university, experiencing pressure at work, dealing with relationship difficulties, or finding it difficult to manage anxiety, low mood or anger, counselling can provide a safe space to begin moving forward.
Counselling in Cheltenham, Moreton-in-Marsh & Across the UK
I offer face-to-face counselling in Cheltenham and Moreton-in-Marsh, serving clients across the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire, alongside secure online counselling for clients throughout the UK.
Online sessions can provide greater flexibility, allowing you to access professional counselling from the comfort and privacy of your own home, wherever you are in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
Tailored Support for Boys and Men
I use an integrative counselling approach, drawing on different therapeutic methods and adapting sessions to your individual needs and goals. This may include elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred counselling, mindfulness, and creative therapeutic approaches where appropriate.
Through counselling, you can work towards:
- Building emotional resilience
- Developing greater self-confidence and self-awareness
- Managing anxiety, stress and low mood
- Understanding and expressing emotions in healthier ways
- Improving communication and relationships
- Managing anger and emotional overwhelm
- Breaking unhelpful patterns of avoidance or addictive behaviour

Challenging the Stigma Around Men’s Mental Health
Boys and men are often encouraged to stay strong, keep their feelings to themselves, and deal with problems alone. These expectations can make it difficult to recognise when support is needed or to feel comfortable asking for help.
But seeking counselling isn’t a sign of weakness. It can be a positive step towards understanding yourself, strengthening your relationships, and developing healthier ways of managing difficult experiences.
Whether you’re facing pressures around relationships, education, work, family, finances, identity, or major life changes, counselling provides a confidential and judgement-free space where you can talk openly and be heard.

Supporting Boys and Men’s Mental Health with Compassionate, Confidential Therapy
Modern boys and men can face immense pressure—to perform, provide, succeed, and conform. Expectations around how men should behave as partners, fathers, sons, professionals, and leaders can leave little room to talk openly about what they are actually experiencing.

- Addiction or compulsive behaviours
- Relationship, intimacy, or family difficulties
- Career pressure, burnout, or uncertainty about the future
- Fatherhood and parenting challenges
- Low self-esteem or lack of confidence

- Major life changes, loss, or feeling stuck
You don’t have to carry everything on your own.
I offer an integrative counselling approach, tailored to your individual circumstances, needs and goals. Whether you’re dealing with a difficult period in your life, feeling emotionally stuck, or wanting to break unhelpful patterns, we can work together to help you:
- Reconnect with your values and sense of direction
- Understand the underlying causes of emotional difficulties
- Develop healthier ways of coping with stress and difficult emotions

How does therapy address men’s issues?
A Welcoming Space for Men’s Counselling
I provide a confidential, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where men can explore what truly matters to them. Our sessions aren’t limited to so-called “men’s issues.” Instead, we focus on the deeper emotional experiences that often go unspoken—helping you understand how psychological discomfort may be showing up in your life and working together to discover more effective, authentic ways of being.
Your First Counselling Session – Free of Charge
Your first session is completely free and lasts approximately 60 minutes. It’s a relaxed, no-obligation opportunity for you to get a feel for how I work and ask any questions you may have. We’ll take time to explore your goals, your story, and whether this therapeutic relationship feels like the right fit for you.
For young people aged 16 and over, this session may include a parent, guardian, or trusted adult for part of the time—while also ensuring dedicated, one-on-one time with the young person. Toward the end of the session, we’ll reflect on your concerns and begin to map out potential paths forward—together.
