Men face unique challenges and pressures in their everyday lives, particularly regarding how to deal with and communicate feelings.
This belief system that men are somehow less manly or weak for showing emotions has caused generations to question the inner experience they have struggled with making meaning throughout life.
At Well Beings Counselling, our therapists can help you learn the reasons, create a plan, and give you practical tools and techniques to manage your emotions.
Regardless of its Cause, Therapy Can Help Men
What You May Be Experiencing
- Feeling lonely or isolated
- Feeling directionless or having trouble finding meaning or purpose
- Difficulty finding one’s way or identity outside of family or relationships
- Feeling unfulfilled or empty
- Difficulty coping with the physical and emotional effects of maturity
- Struggles with emotional intimacy and commitment
- Chronic stress or burnout
Regardless of whether your issues relate to your own personal traumas, childhood negligence, low self-esteem, stress, mental illness, interpersonal relationships, or just life in general, our team is ready to help.
Although most are encouraged from a young age to be strong and toughen up, men also feel strong emotions. It is not a weakness but a sign of strength.

In life, we all experience different concerns that are worth exploring. Whether it be in the aspects and stages of our relationships with others or even just getting through each day-to-day task; men can benefit from having someone they trust by their side during these times which will make them feel more confident about themselves overall.
At Well Beings, we implement Evidence-Based Practices that have been proven by research to be effective. We specialize in male-focused depression, anxiety, trauma and emotional regulation.
Because men are often reluctant to acknowledge emotional problems, mental health disorders in men go undiagnosed. This situation has been called a “silent crisis.”
According to Statistics Canada, men are more than three times more likely to commit suicide than women, and middle-aged persons (aged 40-59) have the highest suicide rates in Canada. Suicide Prevention Canada’s website states that there is a “hidden epidemic” among middle-aged men concerning suicide.
Men and mental health
- Men often repress their feelings and exhibit their depression negatively through hostility or irritability, verbal abusiveness, and drinking.
- Men working in unsafe conditions can increase the risk of mental health issues. Unemployment and retirement also increase the risk of depression and suicide.
- Stress due to legal or financial difficulties can trigger mental health problems and increase the risk of suicide.
- Men with a family history of mental health issues are at greater risk for psychiatric conditions, including bipolar disorder, depression, and schizophrenia.
Many men face internal struggles, and many want to ask for help. However, many do not ask because they are afraid of looking weak. We want you to know that these struggles do not make you less of a man.
