Mental Health Support

Providing affordable one-to-one men's mental health and wellbeing support in Norwich and across the county of Norfolk.

Relationship troubles?
Home stresses?
Workplace stresses?
Money problems?
Personal conflicts?
Mental health issues?
Low self-esteem?
Difficult or traumatic life events?
Disability challenges?
Bereaved or suffering a loss?

Would you like someone to talk to, independent of friends, family and working colleagues? Would you feel more comfortable talking to a fellow male?

"Men are less likely to disclose mental health issues or seek help due to stigma, fear of judgment, and societal expectations of masculinity."

►► Don't struggle in silence!

If you are struggling to cope, and want someone independent of friends, family and working colleagues to talk to, then please contact me. I don't provide a 24/7 crisis telephone help line service (click here for a directory of groups and organisation that you can call if you want to talk over the phone), but I provide personal one-to-one meet ups - I believe meeting and talking to someone face to face is much more beneficial than via a telephone call.

"Three out of four suicides are men!"

►► Talking through stuff really can help!

I charge just £25.00 per session within Norwich greater ring-road, and £35.00 per session across the rest of Norfolk. We can talk informally at your home, or convenient and safe outside place, e.g. a park, café etc. I am not a counsellor, and therefore don't provide counselling services, just an attentive, compassionate listening ear, with the desire to help and support you through your current difficulties and challenges - and back onto the path of positivity and recovery.
