Some men find themselves struggling with feelings of sadness and loneliness.

Men can struggle more through education, some researchers believe that we should do more to make the education system a place where all genders can thrive.

Men can have fewer close friends than women, or fewer friends they feel comfortable talking to about what they are feeling and going through. Men are less likely to seek out mental health support and more likely to report shame about doing so. The suicide rate for men is three times as the suicide rate for women in the UK.

Some men find that changes in society mean their traditional values and their masculinity is seen as something bad or wrong. That their views are unpopular or out of fashion. They can feel like they are adrift from mainstream society.

Men also can struggle after divorce or relationship break up, it may mean the break up of a wider network of friends and support, or having less access to children. It can affect your place in the world and your identity.

I understand how hard it can be for some men to seek therapy. I work in a way that is explicitly non-judgemental about the feelings you have (including anger) and the beliefs you hold. The work we do is an opportunity to explore what’s going on for you, express how you are feeling, what you are dissatisfied with, and what you want to change.
