BOOK ONLINE SESSION

At Amend, we understand that most men were never taught how to process emotions, communicate under pressure, or carry the weight of responsibility that comes with being a father or partner. Many of us were told to “man up,” stay strong, and figure it out alone. That blueprint is broken and it’s costing us our relationships, our self-worth, and, in some cases, our children’s trust.

You might be here because you feel angry, overwhelmed, or numb and can’t pinpoint why. Maybe you keep finding yourself in the same unhealthy relationship patterns, or you shut down when things get hard. You could be carrying a father wound or the weight of unresolved childhood trauma. Perhaps you’re navigating a breakup, feeling stuck in disconnection, or wanting to be a better partner, father, or man but have no clear starting point. You might even feel like you’re holding it all together, but one trigger away from losing control.

We get it. We’re men who’ve lived it, not just studied it. Since 2019, we’ve been working with men at a deep level, using a holistic, trauma-informed approach to get to the root of what’s holding them back. We don’t just offer insight, we give you tools and skills you can use in the moments that matter. You’ll learn to regulate, rebuild, and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface of “anger” or “fear,” so you can lead yourself forward. Our space is safe, non-judgmental, and built for men to be real, honest, and unpack what’s actually going on.

Counselling with Amend is not a surface-level conversation, it’s a 60-minute deep dive into your personal journey. We recommend committing to four sessions to create the space to unpack the deeper issues and work towards meaningful change. This structured approach ensures we’re not just putting out fires, but building lasting skills to navigate life’s challenges.

What makes us different is that we don’t just talk, we equip you with practical, actionable strategies to manage emotions, improve relationships, and live with integrity. Every session is guided by facilitators who have walked the path themselves, so the work is relatable and grounded in real-life experience. Whether you’re new to Amend and looking to break through what’s been holding you back, or you’re continuing your journey after our 12-week program or in-person experiences, 1:1 counselling is a space to do the real work and create lasting change.
