Did you know that half of Ghita Andersen's clients are male aged from 20 - 70?
Men are generally good at putting things off and numbing their emotions. The feelings go in a mental pot (called ‘deal with it later’) and suddenly the pot gets full and the lid flies off. Interestingly, the symptoms for depression and anxiety look different in men to how they manifest in women.

As a men's mentor, Ghita aims to remind you that your authentic masculinity isn't something to prove, but something to embody. It is about finding the courage to live in alignment with your original values, embracing your full emotional range and fostering profound connections - like never before...

How do My Greatest Strengths Come From my Greatest Weaknesses?
Many men walk through life wearing a mask. They have been taught to perform. Taught who they must be and all the soft stuff is abandoned. Moreover, taught to be firm and not to feel emotions. Taught to compete and succeed at all costs. To provide but not connect. To know, but not to listen and learn. It leaves them hollow: Successful on the outside but lost on the inside. If you have ever felt this disconnect, and this resonates, you will know what I am talking about.

Moreover, Ghita will work with you to discover these and to help you to face the uncomfortable truths you have been avoiding. Ghita's role is not to judge you but to hold a mirror and guide you to see the truth (cut the crap). And it is life changing.

Examining the Changing Roles of Men in Society
Modern times call for new skills and more acceptance of fluid gender roles. With both sexes in the work place, shared parenting and chores are now the norm. Relationships can be hugely fulfilling yet confusing and complex nowadays. Many people have trouble understanding what their roles are because they look different from the roles of their parents and grandparents.

For men under 35 suicide is the biggest cause of death
