Most men who come to MEN TALK TOO are still doing what they need to do day to day. Work carries on, people rely on them, and from the outside things look fine. It just takes more effort than it used to, and there is a lot sitting in the background with nowhere to put it.
MEN TALK TOO provides a regular, private space to talk things through with a professional and make sense of what’s on your mind. You don’t need a clear problem or a plan for what to say. We start wherever you are and take it one piece at a time.
If you want to see whether counselling feels useful, you can arrange a free 15-minute call. It is simply a chance to ask questions, get a feel for how it works and decide whether it is something you would like to try.

On the surface, things might look fine. Work carries on, responsibilities are handled, life is steady enough. But once the day ends, your mind does not always switch off.
You might find yourself replaying conversations, going over what you said or what you should have said. You lie in bed thinking about tomorrow, or something from earlier that will not quite settle. At times your patience runs shorter than you would like, or you feel more distant at home without really knowing why.
You may notice you are more tired than usual, less motivated, or looking for ways to switch off just to get some space from your own thoughts. A drink, your phone, distraction, anything that gives you a break.
You are probably used to dealing with things yourself. That can work for a long time, until it stops working. Not because something has gone badly wrong, but because some things do not resolve just by thinking them through on your own.
MEN TALK TOO gives you a regular, private space to bring whatever is on your mind. No pressure, no judgement, no need to present things in a certain way. Just somewhere you can think clearly, speak openly and get a bit of perspective.
If you want to see whether it would help, you can start with a brief call and take it from there.
Things men often want to talk through:
MEN TALK TOO was set up as a place men can come to without needing a crisis first.
Most men who come here are used to getting on with life and not saying much about what is on their mind. Over time thoughts build up simply because there has never been a proper place to put them. Once there is, talking tends to happen more naturally than expected.
Sessions are private and straightforward. You do not need to prepare anything or know what you want to say beforehand. We start where you are and work through whatever is there at a steady pace.
Available online across the UK and in person in Brighton & Hove, it sits outside your day-to-day life rather than adding to it. It becomes a regular hour that belongs to you.
No roles to manage, no decisions to carry for anyone else, just time set aside to think clearly and leave with things more settled than when you arrived.
There isn’t one reason people get in touch. Often it begins with something like:
The Argus published the story of MEN TALK TOO six months on from its launch. John describes the impact it has made and the stigma surrounding men’s mental health.
Brighton Journal published the story of MEN TALK TOO and the efforts John has taken to encourage men to seek support before crisis hits.
