Porn Addiction: Addressing the impact of pornography on your life, helping you develop healthier sexual attitudes and behaviors.
Special Focus on Men’s Issues: Men often struggle with reconciling their sexual desires with societal expectations, exacerbated by the influence of social media and the porn industry. This can lead to unrealistic expectations and problematic behaviors. My approach aims to help men aged 25 to 55 understand and manage these challenges, particularly during key life events such as forming initial intimate relationships, the birth of children, and navigating the menopause. By addressing these pivotal moments, we can foster healthier relationships and self-perceptions.
Therapeutic Approaches:
- Cognitive Therapy: Identifying and changing negative thought patterns to improve emotional regulation and problem-solving skills.

- Positive Psychology: Focusing on strengths and positive aspects of life to enhance well-being and resilience.
- Comparative and Evolutionary Psychology: Understanding human behavior through the lens of evolution and cultural context to provide deeper insights into your issues.
Remember, in any situation, the only thing you can change is yourself. By making unconscious decisions conscious, you can take control of your life and achieve lasting change.
