Chris Hemmings
- Psychotherapist & Coach for Men
Psychotherapy,
Counselling
& Coaching
I specialise in working with men who want to make sense of their lives, their relationships and their emotional experiences. Here's what one client had to say:
“This work has been genuinely life-changing. I’d never had therapy before and wasn’t sure what to expect, but he made it feel easy to open up. He listened without judgement, challenged me when I needed it and helped me understand myself in a way I hadn’t before."
Client, M, 28.

Areas of specific interest:
I have experience working with clients with a wide range of challenges, including:
01
02
Anxiety
Exploring the roots of worry, overthinking and tension – and finding ways to feel calmer, more grounded and in control.
When life feels heavy or flat, we can create a space for you to reconnect with yourself, your emotions and what brings meaning.
05
Anger
Anger often hides pain, shame or fear. Together we’ll unpack where it comes from and how to express it in healthier ways.
06
Relationships
From conflict to communication issues, we’ll explore how you relate to others – and to yourself – to create connection in your life.
03
Addiction
Whether it's substances, behaviours or patterns, we’ll work to understand what’s driving the cycle and how to break it with compassion.
07
Masculinity
If you are questioning what kind of man you want to be, or feeling stuck between expectations and your true self.
04
Low self-esteem
If your inner critic is loud or constant, therapy can help you challenge unhelpful beliefs and build a stronger sense of self.
08
Emotional expression
If you've grown up being told to hide how you feel, we can work to unlearn that and reconnect you with your full emotional range.
