Men's Mental Health & Addiction Counselling in Adelaide

Welcome to Elevate Counselling.  I'm Simon Bartz, a dedicated counsellor specialising in men's mental health and addiction counselling.  I'm also a husband and father to two beautiful children!  Taking the first step toward seeking help is incredibly courageous, and I am here to support you on your journey to well-being.

​

Are you feeling stuck in the same cycle?  Drained, unmotivated or a bit lost? Often, we find ourselves falling into routines that fuel procrastination, anxiety, low self-worth, and addiction. I get how tough this can be, and I get how impossible it can often be, to see any hope of change. Reaching out is often the hardest part—especially when opening up to family or friends feels too personal. But bottling it up only makes things harder.  Left unchecked, these struggles can cloud your sense of hope, direction, and your sense of self.  But, you don’t have to go it alone. 

 

At Elevate Counselling, I specialise in men's mental health and addiction counselling services in Adelaide.  Recognising the interconnection with such issues and challenges, I provide tailored support to address your unique needs.  I know first-hand that being able to have a space where you are validated and heard, free from barriers, judgement and expectations, can be so incredibly enriching for your mental health and wellbeing.  Such a reassurance can also be a key deciding factor toward seeking help in the first place. When we have the opportunity to share feelings and thoughts with someone who we can trust to demonstrate respect and compassion, the process of positive change through genuine, empathic & undivided attention can really begin. 

​

Sometimes, a sense of hope and direction can be clouded.   Sometimes we need to put the brakes on for a while, to recalibrate and rediscover ourselves.  Sometimes, we may just need a bit of direction to get started.

 

I offer this time for you, where you can expect to receive unconditional positive regard and un-biased attention.  I offer opportunities to unlock and discover feelings, thoughts and emotions with no sense of imbalance between client and counsellor.  We are two people who are connecting, talking and learning.

​

Empower your own journey toward mental well-being.  I am a warm, highly empathic, understanding, open-minded and non-judgmental person, who is also an exceptional listener!  This is your journey.  You steer your own ship.  I will not dictate, be directive or enforce solutions upon you.

​

Together, we can collaborate and explore what's happening in your life, with some techniques, tools and resources that resonate the most with you.  I'll stand alongside you with practical support for positive growth, as you create new goals and a brighter future for your journey to unfold.
