Coaching for Men

Something's off. You're not sure what. But you know you keep coming back to the same things. Sound familiar?

Maybe it's the drinking. The way you eat when no one's watching. The job you can't leave. The life that looks fine from the outside.

You're not broken. You're doing what makes sense given everything you've been through. We just need to understand what that is.

About me

Hi. I'm Michael.
Here's what I actually do.

I'm a fully qualified psychotherapist awaiting his warrant. Mediterranean by background, split between Mellieha, Malta (Demajo Clinic) and Lisbon, Portugal. I work with men who are dealing with the kind of stuff that's hard to talk about with most people in their lives.

That might be anxiety, a relationship that's not working, feeling directionless, low mood, or just a vague but persistent sense that something's off. I don't have a script. The work is collaborative and usually pretty direct.

Right now I'm practicing as a coach while I wait for my formal registration with the PPBM (Professional Psychotherapy Board of Malta) to come through. Currently taking on new clients.

I also offer corporate packages, corporate training on employee wellness & talks at events. Get in touch to find out more.

Currently taking new clients. Online sessions available anywhere. In-person in Mellieħa, Malta. Free 30-minute intro call to start.

FAQ

Questions
you probably
have.

If something isn't answered here, just reach out — I'm (relatively) easy to get hold of.

Therapy goes deeper — it works with psychological patterns, past experiences, and mental health concerns. Coaching is more forward-focused: goals, decisions, momentum. I'm a fully qualified psychotherapist but I'm currently practicing as a coach while my warrant from the PPBM comes through. Practically speaking, the conversations cover the same ground.

Mostly me understanding what's going on for you, and you getting a feel for whether this works. You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. We'll end with a clearer sense of what you're after and how I can help — or whether someone else might be a better fit.

Because men often come to therapy differently — sometimes reluctantly, sometimes not sure what they're even asking for. I've found that a space built around how men actually tend to communicate (or avoid communicating) makes a real difference. It's not that other people aren't welcome — it's that this is where I do my best work.

Sessions are 50 minutes over video call. You can be anywhere in the world. Most clients find it easier than they expected — being in your own space can actually help. All you need is somewhere private and a decent connection.

Yes — I see clients in person in Mellieħa, Malta. I also spend time in Lisbon, so depending on when you're there, in-person sessions may be possible. Get in touch to check availability.

Book a free 30-minute intro call. No commitment — just a chance to talk through what's going on and see if we're a good fit. If it makes sense to work together, we go from there.
