Men’s Counselling

Our team are passionate about men’s mental health and understand the difficulties men face in reaching out for support. Men are often reluctant to seek mental health treatment due to a stigma that seeking help is somehow weak or unmasculine. This can lead to men masking or hiding their problems and suffering in silence rather than ‘burdening’ their loved ones or friends with their difficulties.

Being vulnerable by acknowledging the impact a situation is having on you emotionally, mentally and physically is not a sign of weakness. Reaching out for support to change the things that are not working for you in your life shows care and courage to make things better for yourself and others. Our male clients often tell us that if they had have known how much relief they would feel in getting some professional support, they would have reached out a lot sooner. We understand it may have taken a lot to get to the point you are considering getting some help.
