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.

For many men, nothing obvious has gone wrong. Work carries on, responsibilities are handled, and from the outside life looks steady. What changes is how much stays in your head once the day is over.
You replay conversations after they have happened, wonder if you handled something the right way, or lie awake still thinking about work the next day. Sometimes patience runs shorter than you want, or you feel more distant at home without knowing why. You might be more tired, less motivated, or relying on switching off with a drink, your phone, or something else just to get a break from your own thoughts.
Most men are used to dealing with things themselves. That works for a long time, until problems stop resolving just by thinking harder about them. At that point it is not a crisis — it is simply that some things need somewhere outside your own head.
MEN TALK TOO provides a regular, private place to bring whatever is on your mind, whether that is pressure from work, relationship strain, constant overthinking, or a general sense that you are carrying too much mentally. Not advice, not judgement, and not digging for problems that are not there. Just a steady space to think clearly and get perspective.
If you want to see whether it would help, you can start with a brief call and decide 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.
