Men's lack of being not able to talk about the shit that is in our lives and is literally killing us.
If you want to see the stats for male suicide just google it, it's scary.
It is hard, it is unnatural, it takes balls. But speaking to someone is proven to help.
If we don't and think we can fix it ourselves we often end up grumpy (angry), taking drugs and drinking more to keep the shit away.
“Balls2talk" is about cutting through the bull shit, no soft music, candles, and definitely no neck scarfs, not forcing you to speak about "your feelings" F*ck many of us don't even know what our feelings are!

My journey with dealing with Men in the counselling arena began in 2015 when for my training I needed to talk about a specific topic and present research.
I had just read Matt Haig; Reasons to Stay Alive and was taken by his open, honest approach. The research I then did about male suicide made me see the huge issue we had, we (men) needed help but the services were not always accessible.
It made me think of my own struggles with mental health and also how the approach for men may need to be a little different.
I saw people I knew with issues and not accessing the mental health services I was training to work in so the Balls2Talk journey began with this seed. It felt so hard to see our (male) struggles and our lack of engagement with the help available.
Since qualification I have developed my career as a sole practitioner but had bookmarked the concept of Balls2Talk for future focus, 2012 is the start of my vision of building a counselling framework and approach focus on men.
The landscape is huge, be it the CEO of a multinational struggling with work pressure and having hassle at home, the builder who is in an environment where talking about feelings is not acceptable or the alpha-male needing to explore his feelings about his sexuality.
