Helping Men Heal Authentically

So you’ve typed your problem into an A.I.

program and it says that another person is to blame. How about getting a second opinion from a

human perspective, perhaps?

It’s a sad indictment of today’s society that although men suffer high levels of depression, anxiety and general stress, they seldom seek help. Suffering in silence simply compounds issues and may even result in substance abuse to ‘numb’ the pain. By choosing to talk to someone, you can travel down the road so often neglected by men of all walks of life. A road to greater self-knowledge, acceptance and healing. Joshua Wilson at Lake Macquarie Counselling & Psychotherapy in Cardiff can help you on your journey.


The Man 2 Man counselling sessions run by Joshua are designed to allow men to talk freely about their mental health issues in a calm, non-judgemental setting. Joshua will listen attentively to you, help you better understand the hurdles you are facing and advise psychotherapeutic measures you can take to overcome them.


If you’d like to book a session with Joshua or just find out more about what the Man 2 Man counselling sessions are about, call today on 0431 576 406. Help is always available, and you should never feel as though you have to struggle alone.

Resolving Issues and Restoring Balance

Let guilt go and be open to change.

Looking at ‘bad’ habits or actions differently.
Many men bring themselves to therapy after some kind of negative experience has acted as a catalyst form of them, making them feel a sense of guilt or shame around their feelings or action they’ve taken. At this time it is important to understand the ‘why’ of what we do. What is labelled as bad behaviour can often simply be a strategy that has been psychologically put in place over time to help us numb out pain of some kind or try to avoid thoughts and feelings we do not have the proper tools to cope with. At Man 2 Man Counselling my non judgement approach allows clients to explore the real underlying reasons that have brought about the habits or actions that no longer serve them well and to find more positive, healthier ways to handle these issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is seeking mental health support important for men?

    One in eight men will experience depression and one in five will experience anxiety at some point in their lives. According to the ABS in 2021, 8.6 Australians die every day by suicide, which is more than double the road toll, and 75% of those who take their own life are male. As such, it’s vital to do all you can to ensure your mental state is optimised—as it can allow you to lead a healthier personal and professional life. 

  • What common mental health issues do men face?

    Mental health issues faced by men in Australia can be broadly categorised into four areas: stress, anxiety, depression and suicide. Stress is a common issue for men in Australia, with work being the most common source of stress. Other sources of stress include family responsibilities, financial pressures and relationship problems.

  • Why are men less likely to talk about mental health problems?

    There is a range of possible reasons why men may be less likely to talk about mental health problems in Australia. One reason may be that there is still a stigma attached to mental illness, and men may feel that they will be seen as feeble or “crazy” if they admit to having mental health problems. What’s more, many men grew up being told that "real men" don't show emotion or weakness, and so they may not feel comfortable talking about their feelings with others. Finally, some men may simply not know where to turn for help if they are struggling mentally.

Helping to Alleviate Depression

It’s a harrowing fact that suicide is the single largest cause of death in under 50-year-old males. The last decade alone has seen a 70% increase in suicide, and a staggering 75% of suicides are male. Help is always available, and at Lake Macquarie Counselling & Psychotherapy, Joshua Wilson is committed to providing that help.


If you suffer from depression, Joshua can help you pinpoint the root cause of the issue. He will also provide you with mindfulness strategies for coping with depression, as well as any stress triggers you may be suffering from. To make a booking, call 0431 576 406 today.
