Counselling for men – a calm space to talk without pressure

If you’ve arrived here through Men’s Therapy Hub, you may be looking for counselling that feels straightforward, respectful and grounded. Many men come to therapy feeling under pressure while appearing to cope well on the surface — balancing work, relationships and responsibility while quietly struggling inside.

You might be experiencing stress, anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, low confidence, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. Therapy offers a space to slow down, make sense of patterns, and begin to move forward in a way that feels sustainable rather than overwhelming.

How I work

I’m Mark, a BACP registered person-centred counsellor working with men across the UK remotely, and in person in Wombourne (WV5) near Wolverhampton.

My approach is calm, thoughtful and non-directive. This means there’s no pressure to talk in a certain way or to move faster than feels comfortable. Many men find it difficult to ask for support or put feelings into words — therapy with me focuses on building trust gradually and working at your pace. There’s no expectation to have the right words or explain things perfectly — we simply start wherever you are.

Rather than offering quick fixes or judgement, we work together to understand what’s going on beneath the surface, helping you develop clearer insight and more sustainable ways forward.

What sessions look like

Sessions last 60 minutes and take place either remotely (video or telephone) or in person where geography permits. Session start times are 08:00, 09:30, 11:00 and 12:30, Wednesday to Saturday.

Some men prefer a regular weekly or fortnightly appointment, while others choose more flexible scheduling depending on their needs.

Taking the First Step

Starting counselling can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to coping alone. We usually begin with a free introductory call where we can talk about what brings you here and whether working together feels right. There’s no obligation following this conversation.
