More men in Brighton are approaching therapy than ever before. Nearly half of our clients are male.

From childhood men seem to be at risk of certain emotional, psychological and behavioural issues more than women.

Boys experience behavioural problems in primary school more often than young girls. Boys are 9 times more likely to suffer from hyperactivity than girls. Men have far higher rates of substance abuse and antisocial personality disorders than women.

Compared to women, men are 3 times more likely to kill themselves. In the UK, the leading cause of death in males under 35 is suicide.

It’s not always easy being male

Society places a lot of expectations on men. Men are expected to be resilient, confident, dominant and competitive. Men are often taught to be aggressive and unemotional. In most societies around the world, showing emotion is often seen as a weakness in men.

These ideas about masculinity are misguided, unfounded and difficult to live up to.

Men can bring all types of concerns to counselling and there is no limit to what can be discussed in therapy.  Both male and female therapists can help with men’s issues.

Some common reasons men seek counselling

Men meet with our therapists for all kinds of reasons and discussions in therapy are always confidential. Some of the issues more commonly seen in men include concerns around:

How therapy can support men in Brighton

Therapy provides a place where men can talk to a trained professional about anything on their mind, in a private, confidential setting.

For some men, therapy provides their first experience of talking openly about what they want or how they feel. Quality of life, career and relationships can be improved through personal counselling and psychotherapy.

Alternatively, couples counselling may be the best solution if your problems are shared with or related to your partner.

To set up a first appointment, please get in touch.

We have male and female therapists on hand to discuss any personal, emotional, behavioural or sexual concerns.

The good news is that more men are approaching counselling and psychotherapy in Brighton than ever before.

More on getting therapy started

"I learned a lot about myself and about the relationships I make with other people. I was able to see where I was going wrong and I now make better personal choices. Thank you, again."

"I was able to confront many issues which I had so far chosen to ignore despite their negative effects on my personal relationships and happiness. I would have no hesitation in recommending (One Therapy) to anyone looking to improve their relationships and self-esteem."

My therapist was completely non-judgemental which allowed me to be totally honest in the sessions and say how I was feeling without reservation. I felt comfortable talking with him and it was a really valuable experience that I would thoroughly recommend.

Therapy helped me through a difficult time. I gained so much insight into myself and my life. My first experience of therapy was excellent. I am so grateful to One Therapy for this.
