Men’s mental wellbeing · The Cheeky Counsellor
Who Can Men Talk to When Life Gets Too Much?
Options for men who need someone to talk to, from trusted mates to professional mental health support.
You do not need to wait for a crisis
Stress, family pressures, loneliness or a rough week are all valid reasons to reach out.
Start with someone you trust
A mate, family member or colleague may be able to listen. Be clear about what you need: “Can I vent for ten minutes?”
A GP can help
If sleep, mood, anxiety or daily functioning are affected, a GP can discuss assessment and appropriate support options.
Professional support has a different role
Psychologists, counsellors and other qualified practitioners can provide structured help within their training and scope.
