Welcome to My Private Men’s Counselling Practice

Located in Surry Hills, the vibrant heart of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, my practice is dedicated to addressing the unique mental health challenges men face. I’m Christian Acuña, here to help you build resilience, forge stronger connections, and navigate life’s pressures. My goal is to empower you to live a bold, authentic life while creating meaningful relationships that support your emotional well-being.

Tailored Evidence-Based Support

I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques—including Existential Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Gestalt Therapy, and Mindfulness Practices—to design sessions specifically for men. Together, we’ll explore your experiences in a respectful, judgment-free environment, focusing on your goals and aspirations.

Our work may include strengthening romantic relationships, deepening friendships, or understanding how past experiences shape your present. We’ll identify what truly supports your well-being and guide you in breaking free from unhelpful patterns.

Transforming Relationships and Breaking Cycles

Our sessions aim to help you move beyond limiting beliefs and restrictive patterns. We’ll address destructive emotional cycles rooted in early relational trauma and shaped by attachment styles formed in childhood. Whether you identify with Anxious (Ambivalent), Avoidant-Dismissive, or Disorganised attachment patterns, we’ll uncover how these dynamics contribute to anxiety and suffering in your relationships.

By leveraging the brain’s natural capacity for neuroplasticity, we’ll rewire these pathways, fostering a Secure attachment style with yourself and others. This transformation frees you from toxic, superficial relationship cycles that may have felt familiar but were ultimately destructive. Together, we’ll explore your experiences in a respectful, judgment-free environment, helping you discover, set, and align with your goals and aspirations.

Unlocking Your Potential

Through mindfulness and deep self-exploration, you’ll develop the tools to live with authenticity and confidence, free from fear, loneliness, or shame. By processing unresolved trauma and releasing outdated beliefs, you’ll unlock your potential and embrace the truth that you are worthy of a peaceful and fulfilling life.

Expertise in Men’s Mental Health

I provide support in key areas of men’s well-being, including marriage and relationship counselling, intimacy, self-esteem, loneliness, childhood trauma, enmeshments, depression, addiction, anger management, and existential concerns. Together, we’ll create safe, meaningful, and fulfilling relationships — with your romantic partner, family, friends, colleagues, and yourself — grounded in your values and aspirations.
