Is Therapy Good for Men?

Yes, therapy is good for men, because therapy works for anyone who needs a little extra help to improve their mental health and overall well-being. The barriers that surround masculinity and cause men to feel weak should they need to ask for help, are slowly being overcome, which is great news if you are seeking therapy for men.

Research indicates that both men and women will benefit equally from psychological treatment, and the idea that society expects men to be macho and stoic is thankfully now becoming outdated.

There is never any shame in having to ask for a little help, humans are social creatures and work well together, and instead of showing weakness, seeking help when you need it shows strength and understanding, and will help to create a better you.

Reasons Men Should Consider Therapy for Men

Men are humans just as women and children are, and we can all suffer from a huge variety of mental issues including anxiety, stress, feelings of low self-esteem and even depression. Mental health problems can hit anyone at any time of life, and when you are feeling low it is very hard to bounce back.

Stress and anxiety are common problems for men, and left untreated it can lead to a wide range of physical problems such as digestive issues, headaches, sleep disturbances, muscle tension, dizziness and increased heart rate. Therapy will help you to recognise these issues and their triggers and help you to find coping mechanisms that will improve your overall quality of life.

Chronic stress can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke so if you are feeling overwhelmed or like you can't cope, then remember therapy is good for men. It’s not too late to start your journey to self-improvement and a happy, healthier you.

Therapy for Men at The Grove Counselling

Our highly trained therapists will work with you to identify your needs and help you discover ways to cope with the challenges you are facing. We offer a safe and completely private space so we can work with you and tailor support to your specific needs, so you can explore your thoughts and feelings and begin your journey of personal growth.

Male-centred therapy breaks down the stigma surrounding mental health and helps to promote a more positive view of mental well-being, and at The Grove Counselling we believe in getting things right. We offer sessions either face-to-face counselling or online, whichever you prefer, and we highly recommend taking advantage of our free 20-minute consultation to make sure we are the right therapy practice for you before you begin your journey with us.

Therapy for men is particularly good, because often men find it hard to express their emotions, and this can lead to a lack of communication skills and suppressed feelings. Therapy can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling relationship with partners, family members and even friends, so don't hesitate to contact us to begin your journey to a better you. You may also wish to explore our dedicated support such as family counselling in Melbourne to strengthen relationships.
