Still performing. But something underneath has shifted.
If you are a professional man carrying stress, anxiety, or burnout that rest and willpower have not fixed, you are not alone, and you are not failing. You may just need a different kind of support.
I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and EMDR therapist. I work specifically with men in demanding professional roles. Structured, evidence-based therapy using ACT and EMDR. Online sessions across the UK.
This takes you to a short screening form, around three minutes. I read every one myself and reply within 24 hours to arrange the call.
Testimonials
"This has been the most productive work I've ever done for myself..."
"For me it's been the practical tools that have really made the difference and given me the ability to work through the challenges I've had. It's been a very practical approach to understanding how my reactions and the way I feel are linked to how my brain works. It's helped me realise that this is a normal way for my brain to process things and it's genuinely improved my quality of life and overall wellbeing. Overall this has been the most productive work I've ever done for myself. I've felt supported throughout and always listened to, and I've been given tools that genuinely helped me understand how to move forward. It always felt like a safe space."
"It has been really helpful for me to regain control and the ability to be present..."
"Being able to unhook myself from overthinking and negative thoughts. Being able to label them as narratives and then ground myself was really helpful. Also, I feel like we were initially headed down one path and Dr Hayes adjusted things depending on how sessions went. It has been really helpful for me to regain control and the ability to be present. I am extremely grateful for this."
"Dr Brett Hayes made me feel comfortable beyond anyone I have ever spoken with..."
"Dr Brett Hayes made me feel comfortable beyond anyone I have ever spoken with. His demeanor is calm, understanding and open in providing a safe environment to share experiences. I personally have never experienced therapy in any capacity but Dr Brett made me feel as though I could share anything without the fear of judgment. I sincerely enjoyed my time speaking with him and would recommend him to anyone who is experiencing mental health worries."
