As men, talking about mental health issues and researching ways to remedy them can be very dfficult. We want to help break down the stigma by engaging conversation around mens mental health, whilst also trying to keep it light hearted and have a laugh. We also discuss many different techniques for helping deal with issues including trying many new methods for the first time ourselves on the show. Also lots of daft banter, well, because we're blokes.

Mark is an ex-veteran who founded his own therapy group and social enterprise with the aim of having a deeper reach to the community and providing affordable services to those who need it the most. Mark provides a deep insight into what people who have never had counselling before can expect to experience and the benefits associated.
