Dr Damian Stoupe Counselling & Mentoring

Achieving Your Goals and Overcoming Obstacles

I am an online counsellor for men located in Wells, Somerset.
Whether it is restoring your mental health or boosting your mental fitness, I have a range of options for you to consider.

Restoring Mental Health

Restoring mental health is the core focus of what counsellors offer. If you have had a diagnosis from your GP or have been struggling with issues for quite a while, this may be the best online counselling option for you.

Building Mental Fitness

Most people I see are not struggling with mental health issues but rather having problems with mental fitness, their ability to optimise their emotional and psychological welfare, and being able to have a positive attitude towards life.

Anger Management
Assertiveness Training

Executive Coaching

Stress Management

Working with men

I specialise in working with men in an approach that supports masculine values and strengths. Offering a counselling approach that aligns with male values and aspirations helps men feel more comfortable and willing to ask for help to balance the impact of ‘man rules’ in their life’.

Anger Management
Bullying
Family Relationships
Loneliness and Isolation
Male Gender Roles
Redundancy & Retirement

ISN’T IT ABOUT TIME
YOU HAD A BELLY LAUGH?

MEN NEED TO HAVE A LAUGH TOO!

One of the first things we lose when we get stressed, depressed or frustrated is our sense of humour. Finding it difficult to laugh, or faking happiness is a sure sign you need to think about talking to someone.

About

team

Let's Do Counselling Differently

Counselling for men is exactly that:
a masculine counselling approach built from the ground up for men.
Focusing on looking forward and finding solutions, building on male strengths and values,
such as: protecting, self-reliance, courage, and, importantly, humour.

Grounded In Experience

Having worked for nearly 20 years as a counsellor in various settings and with various organisations, I have gained a great deal of practical knowledge to complement my academic knowledge.

Grounded In Research

Everything that I do as a counsellor is grounded in academic research. If I can’t explain the theory of why I am doing something or working with a particular focus, then I shouldn’t be doing it!

Grounded In Practice

I live in the real world, which is all messy and complicated. I like to keep it real; my clients want understanding and tools that fit their situation, that work for them and that they can change later if they need to.

whether we are restoring mental health or building mental fitness
I offer a selection of options to suit your needs, your budget and your time:

GOOD COUNSELLING SHOULD OFFER HOPE

Sometimes, we feel stressed, worried, angry, frustrated, lost, sad, scared, and alone. We want everything to slow down so we can take a breath and figure out what’s happening. That’s where counselling comes in. Counselling should help us understand where we are going, not just where we are or where we have been.

Good counselling help us look to the future with hope by giving us the practical skills to shape and control our own future.
