01 — A quiet check-in

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • 01You're functioning, but something's been off for a while — and you can't quite name it.
  • 02You're shorter with the people you love than you want to be — or going quiet when you used to talk.
  • 03Something in your sex life isn't working the way it used to, or has started to worry you.
  • 04There's a thought, or a habit, or a part of yourself you've never told anyone about.

If any of those landed — you're in the right place.

You don't need to know what's wrong before you book. Working that out is half the job.

— Why this exists
“It bothered me how many of my clients had never once been asked about their sex life. So I started asking.”

— Ben Waters, Psychologist (MProfPsych)

Most men's therapy treats sex as a separate problem, or skips it entirely. It almost never is separate. Hard Conversations exists to treat the whole picture — mental health and sexual health — without making either one weird.

03 — The approach

Therapy built
with men in mind.

The focus here is psychosexual therapy — clinical work that treats sexual concerns alongside the mental health, relational, and life context they sit in. Sex doesn't get pulled out and treated as a separate problem, because it almost never is one. Mental health concerns get the same integrated treatment, whether sex is in the picture or not.

The research on what works for men in therapy is pretty clear: collaborative, transparent, structured, with practical skills early. That's what you'll get here. Sessions are direct. You'll know what we're working on and why. You'll leave with something to try, not just something to think about.

Underneath the psychosexual work, the approach draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), EMDR, and systemic therapy — chosen and combined based on what the problem actually needs, not on a fixed protocol. The biggest predictors of whether therapy works aren't which model the therapist uses; they're the relationship, the fit, and whether the work feels relevant to your life.

04 — Begin

Start with a
free intro call.

Send through a few times that work and I'll text you back by the end of the next business day to set up a ten-minute call. We work out whether what's going on is something I can help with — and whether the way I work feels right for you. If yes, we book a first session ($200, 50 min, online; Medicare rebates available with a Mental Health Care Plan). If not, no pressure either way.
