Counselling for Men
A place to talk about what matters to you.
MEN TALK TOO offers one-to-one counselling for men in Brighton & Hove and online throughout the UK. Whether you're looking at a particular difficulty, a relationship, a change in your life or something you haven't quite found the words for, we can take the time to explore it together. We also offer a small, counsellor-facilitated online men's support group, providing another opportunity to share experiences and connect with others.

Time to explore what matters to you
Individual counselling offers a regular, confidential opportunity to talk through your experiences, relationships and the things you want to understand better. There is no particular way you need to approach it. We can begin with what feels relevant to you and see where the conversation takes us.
Counselling in Brighton & Hove and online
I offer 50-minute sessions in person near Preston Park, as well as online sessions across the UK. The fee is £65 per session, and you can arrange a free 15-minute introductory call before deciding whether to begin.

Online support groups for men
Alongside individual counselling, I facilitate small online support groups for men across the UK. Up to six members meet fortnightly to share experiences, listen to one another and explore what's happening in their lives. The group is ongoing, with an initial commitment of six sessions.

01Depression and low mood02Relationships, separation and divorce03Anger and frustration04Self-esteem and identity05Loneliness and connection06Bereavement and loss
I also work with anxiety, work-related stress, burnout, life transitions and questions about direction or purpose.
Who you'll be speaking with
I'm John, founder of MEN TALK TOO
I'm a qualified humanistic counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I founded MEN TALK TOO to offer men a dedicated place to explore their lives and experiences through counselling.
My work is grounded in the relationship we build. I value being able to talk openly, think together and make room for different perspectives, without expecting you to present yourself in a particular way.

Common questions
Questions about counselling and men's support groups
Do I need to know what I want to talk about?
No. Some people come with a particular concern, while others want time to explore something less clearly defined. We can begin with whatever feels relevant to you.
Do you offer online counselling for men across the UK?
Yes. MEN TALK TOO offers online one-to-one counselling for men throughout the UK, alongside in-person counselling in Brighton & Hove. Sessions provide an opportunity to explore relationships, anxiety, low mood, work pressures, identity or whatever else may be happening in your life.
How much does one-to-one counselling cost?
Individual counselling sessions cost £65 for 50 minutes. I also offer a free 15-minute introductory call, giving you an opportunity to ask questions and see whether counselling feels right for you.
What kind of counselling do you offer?
My approach is humanistic and integrative, with a person-centred foundation. It draws on relational, Gestalt and existential ways of working. I don't offer CBT as part of this service.
Do you offer online men's support groups across the UK?
Yes. MEN TALK TOO offers a small, counsellor-facilitated online men's support group for men anywhere in the UK. The group meets fortnightly with up to six members, providing an opportunity to talk, share experiences, listen to others and build connections. There is an initial commitment of six sessions, with the option to continue afterwards. You can find out more about our online men's support group, including how to register your interest.
Is the online men's support group the same as group therapy?
No. The MEN TALK TOO online men's group is a facilitated support group rather than group counselling or group therapy. It offers an opportunity for men to come together, talk about their lives, hear different perspectives and learn from one another. Sessions are guided by a qualified counsellor, although they are not intended to replace individual counselling or other mental health treatment.
Can I join the men's support group if I've never had counselling?
Yes. You don't need any previous experience of counselling or support groups to express an interest. The group is open to men who would value an opportunity to talk and connect with others. You can read more about how the group works and register your interest on the online men's group page.
Can I ask a question before deciding?
Of course. You can use the contact form to ask about individual counselling or the online men's group. If you're considering one-to-one counselling, you can also arrange a free 15-minute introductory call. There's no obligation to begin counselling.
