Welcome to my private, face-to-face and TeleHealth men’s counselling practice in Surry Hills, the vibrant heart of Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. I’m Christian Acuña, dedicated to addressing the unique mental health needs of men. My practice focuses on fostering personal growth, resilience, and meaningful, safe connections, empowering you to live an authentic and fulfilling life while cultivating secure attachment styles that enhance your emotional well-being.

Drawing 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—I provide tailored sessions designed to address the distinct challenges and aspirations of men. Together, we’ll explore your life experiences in a respectful, judgment-free environment, focusing on your goals and desires. This includes cultivating healthier romantic relationships and friendships and understanding what truly serves your well-being versus what might hold you back.

Our sessions aim to move you beyond limiting beliefs and outdated relationship patterns. This includes understanding and breaking free from emotional cycles like limerence or early relational trauma, which often stem from attachment styles formed in childhood. Whether you experience Anxious (Ambivalent), Avoidant-Dismissive, or Disorganized attachment patterns, we will work to bring awareness to how these patterns may create suffering and anxiety in your relationships. By leveraging the brain’s natural capacity for neuroplasticity, we will reshape these pathways, fostering a Secure attachment style with yourself and others. This transformation allows you to move away from drama, suffering, and toxic relationship cycles, creating space for emotional freedom, fulfillment, and authentic connections.

Through mindfulness and deep self-exploration, you’ll develop the tools to be fully present and live with authenticity and self-assurance, free from fear, loneliness, shame, or anxiety. Together, we will process unresolved childhood traumas and dissolve the false beliefs that have limited your confidence, sense of purpose, and self-worth. By shedding these outdated perceptions, you’ll unlock your potential to connect with the most empowered version of yourself, embracing the understanding that you are worthy of a serene and contented existence.

I provide expertise in key areas of men’s mental and emotional well-being, including marriage and relationship counselling, intimacy, self-esteem, loneliness, childhood trauma, enmeshments, depression, addiction, anger management, and existential concerns. Our sessions will focus on enhancing your relationships with family, friends, colleagues, partners, and, most importantly, yourself, in ways that align with your values and aspirations. The goal is to support a deeply fulfilling and balanced life.

If you’re ready to make transformative changes, I invite you to join me on this path of self-discovery and emotional empowerment. Together, we’ll work to build the self-understanding, emotional resilience, and healthy connections that will allow you to live a more authentic and satisfying life.
