🧠🧠 Why telling men to “open up more” can backfire

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” how men feel; it’s about giving space to be understood.

Research, studies & experience into Male Psychology points out that constantly telling men to “open up more” can send the wrong message; it can imply that men are emotionally lacking, stunted, emotionally inept, or doing it “wrong.”

But the truth is: men do feel deeply. Many just express those feelings differently, through actions, problem-solving, humor, quiet reflection, or showing up for the people they care about. (Masculinity is biologically linked to providing and protecting)

Therapy doesn’t have to mean sitting in a room and spilling your guts if that’s not your style. A good therapist works with how you process emotions, not against them.

✅ It’s not about changing who you are.
✅ It’s about having a space where your way of feeling and coping is respected, and where you can build even more strength from it.

Real strength isn’t silence. It’s giving yourself permission to be heard, in your own way. 💬

🌿 Understanding the Biology of Masculinity 🌿

At Mind2Man Counselling Services & Directory, we recognise that masculinity isn’t just a social idea; it’s also rooted in biology.

Understanding how hormones, brain chemistry, and male development influence emotions and behaviour helps us connect more deeply with men’s experiences.

We believe every therapist should understand and work with these biological realities, not against them, creating therapy spaces where men feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow. 💬💪

🌟 Mind2Man Counselling Services and Directory 🌟

At Mind2Man, we strive to create a supportive community for all. It's concerning that a recent survey found 41% of boys have been told by teachers that their masculinity is a problem for society, which can greatly impact their mental health.

Key Points:

Introjected Values: Carl Rogers' concept, where beliefs are unconsciously adopted from our environment.

Impact: Boys internalising this messaging may feel confusion, shame, anger and inadequacy.

Our Commitment: We provide a safe space for boys to challenge stereotypes and celebrate their identities.

Let’s shift the narrative and compassionately support every young person in embracing their true selves.

🌟 News! Published by the centre for male psychology 🌟

After completing my postgraduate studies in counselling, I continued (and still do) training with the Centre for Male Psychology, proudly endorsed by the British Psychological Society, I am thrilled to share that my article on why I became a male-centered therapist has been published by the Centre!

The training from the centre for male psychology, along side giving therapy to men and boys has deepened my understanding of the unique challenges males face in today’s world, and I’m eager to contribute to this vital dialogue.

Thank you for all your support! 💙

My therapy journey didn’t begin in a counselling room. Before becoming a therapist, I spent several years working in the transport industry, a role that unexpectedly exposed me to trauma, violence, loss, and moments of deep human vulnerability. During this time, I also operated as a union represen...

🟠 October is Domestic Abuse Awareness Month 🟠

Counselling Services.

Domestic abuse doesn’t discriminate; it affects people of all genders. Yet male victims are often overlooked or silenced by stigma.

Male domestic abuse can take many forms: emotional manipulation, physical violence, controlling behaviour, parental alienation and false allegations, especially during or after separation.
⠀

💬 Male - centred therapy can help:

Whether you’re healing from emotional harm, dealing with alienation, or navigating complex family dynamics, speaking to a qualified male-centred therapist or support group can offer validation, tools for recovery, and a safe space to process.

Let’s break the silence. Let's support ALL survivors.
