Men's Mental Health
A lot of men are struggling right now — and most of them aren’t talking about it. Not with their mates. Not with their partners. Definitely not with their GP. ​Some feel down or disconnected. Others feel angry, lost, stuck, ashamed, numb, or like they’re quietly falling behind while everyone else seems to be coping.
​
And for many men, the pressure shows up in three big places:
mental health, sex and relationships.
​
​This is common. You’re not the only one.​​
How big is the problem?
43% of men will experience anxiety or depression at some point, while 54% of men have had a persistent sexual problem in the past year
Men account for 75% of deaths to suicide, and 37% of Australians with suicidal behaviour cite family and relationship breakdown as a cause.
Despite those figures, only 37% of men seek mental health support, and only 17% with a sexual problem seek help.
Why seek Men's Mental Health Support?
Some men seek us out to help reduce mental suffering caused by:
Feeling flat, stuck or unmotivated
​
Quiet burnout — from work, parenting, or life
​
Irritability or anger that feels hard to switch off
​
Numbness, withdrawal, or "shutting down" emotionally
​
Social isolation or loss of friendships
​
Identity shifts after becoming a father, losing a job, or hitting a life transition
​
Feeling like a burden — or like you're not doing enough
​
Struggles with masculinity, identity, purpose, or direction
​
Fear of failure, or of being “found out”
​
Grief or trauma that hasn’t been dealt with
​​
Why seek Men's Sex Therapy?
Some men seek us out specifically for sexual health and relationship concerns like:
Performance issues, like erectile dysfunction and premature or delayed ejaculation
​
Loss of libido
​
Shame or embarrassment around sex
​
Porn use
​
Pain during sex (yes, men experience it too)
​
Rebuilding sexual confidence
​
Communicating about about fantasies or kinks
​
Communication and relationship breakdowns
​
Infidelity — whether you’ve done it, been through it, or both
​
Repeated conflict with partners, friends, or family
​
Feeling like you don’t know how to be a partner, father, or man anymore
What is therapy like?
It probably isn't like you've seen it in the movies, or at least it doesn't have to be.
It's not a confessional booth. You won’t be told you have to talk about your feelings.
It doesn't have to be you and a stranger sitting in a cold clinic.
​
Our aim is to help make sense of what's going on, put some words to what you've been feeling, and workshop some solutions or ways to cope. ​
​
We can do that from your loungeroom, your computer, the beach, or your favourite cafe.
It can still be private, practical, and at your pace.
​
No awkward small talk. No pressure.
Just honest conversation with someone who legally can't gossip about it.
