At BrotherlyMind, we specialise in addressing the unique intersection of military and mental health challenges. Our one-to-one challenges provide support in a confidential environment based on understanding and trust.
We're dedicated to helping as many serving and ex-forces as we can, and by working with a select number of clients, we ensure a personal approach to mental health in the military and armed forces.

Who Can We Work With?
Our services are designed for those connected to the military, whether currently serving or veterans. However, due to ethical guidelines as a member of the NCH and QCHPA, we cannot work with individuals diagnosed with the following conditions:
​
-
Epilepsy (the deep relaxation of hypnotherapy is contra-indicated)
​
-
Psychosis (Bi-Polar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorder)
​
​We are also unable to assist if you are currently under the care of another therapist.
​
If you're uncertain as to whether our services are suitable for you, we encourage you to book a free consultation so we can discuss options together.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the connection between military service and mental health issues?
Military service can often lead to various mental health challenges. The nature of the job exposes personnel to traumatic situations that are difficult to process. Beyond PTSD, military members face heightened risks of conditions like anger issues, anxiety, and moral injury.
Why is mental health in the armed forces important?
Looking after your mental health as a veteran is vital for your well-being, overall quality of life, and for your family. It's crucial to have access to essential mental health support after your service to help you cope with your experiences in the forces.
Why choose an ex-military therapist?
Mac, who himself is ex-army, brings an understanding of the challenges faced by military personnel and veterans. He's been through the training, the drills, the raggings, and has successfully made the transition to civilian life, including navigating the medical discharge process. Mac understands military life and, as a trained therapist, is here to support you.
