What it can feel like.

Men often carry a lot privately. Work pressure, money, family and expectations about how they’re meant to cope can build up. For some it shows up as anger, shutting down, overworking or drinking; for others it’s quiet anxiety, low mood or feeling lost. You don’t need to wait for a crisis to talk to someone.

  • Feeling constantly stressed, on edge or burnt out
  • Anger that’s hard to control, or starting to affect relationships or work
  • Feeling flat or unmotivated, even when life looks OK on paper
  • Worry, overthinking or not being able to switch off
  • Big changes like becoming a dad, separation, a work change or health issues
  • Using alcohol, gambling, porn or other habits to cope with stress
  • Feeling alone, or like no one really gets what you’re carrying

You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out. If something here sounds familiar, that’s enough reason to start a conversation.

How we approach men’s mental health

You set the pace. Your psychologist works with you to decide what to focus on and what a useful next step looks like.

  1. 1

    Understanding your experience

    Your psychologist starts with what’s going on for you, including what’s been building up at work, at home and in yourself. You’ll talk about what brought you here and what you’d like to change.

  2. 2

    Choosing an approach together

    Your psychologist explains the options and why they might suit you, then you agree on a plan together.

  3. 3

    Reviewing the plan together

    Along the way, your psychologist checks progress with you, using measures chosen for you and what you’re working on, and adjusts the plan if needed.

What support can include
  • Getting to what sits underneath Looking at what drives anger, stress, low mood or risky behaviour.
  • Practical ways to handle pressure Working on what to do at work, in relationships and at home.
  • Making sense of the past Looking at experiences that might still shape how you react now.
  • Communication skills Practising ways to talk things through without losing your cool or shutting down.
  • Working out what you want Getting clear on what you want life to look like, and the next step towards it.

Psychologists who work with couples

Behind your psychologist

Depth behind the person you see

You see one psychologist. Behind them is a practice that invests in what they know: training through the year, supervision built in, and time set aside to keep up with the research.

  • Trained for the work in front of them

    Our psychologists train through the year, and we train together when we take on a new approach.

  • Enough of us to match you properly

    With 25+ psychologists, we can put you with someone who works with what you’re facing, your age group, and the way you like to work.

  • Keeping up, on purpose

    New research, new frameworks and new tools get tested against what we already do. What earns its place stays.

If something isn’t working.

Tell us, or tell your psychologist. Here’s what can happen next.

  • Ask for a different psychologist

    We aim to get it right first time. If not, tell us and we’ll match you with someone else. No reason needed, and you won’t have to start over.

  • Talk it through with your psychologist

    Your psychologist reviews the plan with you, and can talk your care through in supervision. All our psychologists work with regular supervision and shared clinical standards.

  • Wondering about medication?

    If medication might be worth considering, we can write to your GP with what we’ve found, with your consent.

What if I don't really “believe” in therapy?

Plenty of blokes feel that way walking in. You don't have to arrive convinced. You just need to be open to seeing whether talking with someone outside your usual circle is useful. We keep it practical and straight. If something doesn't make sense, you can say so. You won't be pushed into long emotional speeches or told how you are “meant” to feel.

I'm not falling apart. Is my stuff “bad enough” for this?

You don't have to be in crisis for therapy to be worth it. Blokes come in because they are snappy at home, not sleeping, drinking more than they want, feeling flat, stuck or not like themselves. If it is affecting your head, your work or your relationships, it is big enough to talk about.

Will I just be asked to talk about my childhood for ten sessions?

No. Your history might be part of the picture, but we start with what is happening in your life now and what you want to be different. If looking back is useful, your psychologist will explain why and you can decide how far you want to go. This isn't lying on a couch being analysed.

What if I don't know what to say in the first session?

That is normal. It is our job to help you get started, not yours to give a perfect speech. Your psychologist will ask some simple questions, you can answer in your own words and we build from there. Silence, swearing, joking when things are uncomfortable and saying “I don't know” are all OK.

Will this make me “soft” or less driven?

No. Therapy isn’t about taking your drive away. It looks at what’s wearing you down or blowing things up along the way, and what you want to do about it.
