What is a talking group?

A room of men, talking straight.

A Real Talk group is a weekly session for your mental wellbeing. A small group of men meets at the same time each week with two experienced psychotherapists to clear their heads, take the pressure off and get on top of what’s going on in their lives. You hear from men dealing with the same things, and leave thinking more clearly and feeling more like yourself. You don’t have to say anything until you’re ready.

Real Talk for Men

Real talk.
Real change.

What men tell us

How men feel after a group.

Lighter, mostly. Like years of weight they didn’t know they were carrying has finally been put down. More hopeful. More confident. Clearer about what they actually want, and how to go and get it. Less stress, less worry, fewer nights lying awake. Relationships that feel richer, because they can finally say what they mean. A new way of seeing their own lives. And a steadier sense of who they are, what they want, and where they’re heading.

Cost

£160a month

Four weekly 90-minute group sessions with two experienced psychotherapists. A fraction of the cost of one-to-one therapy.

About us

We’re not detached observers.

We built Real Talk because we saw a massive blind spot. Too many men feel sidelined, or like the world is spinning out of control. We know, personally and professionally, how vital honesty is when you’re trying to get your life together.

That’s why our groups are co-led by a man and a woman. Having both of us in the room lets men work through real-world dynamics, the pressure, the conflict and the things we feel ashamed about, and take that clarity back into their relationships and careers.

GP practices & primary care

A community-based next step for male patients: it eases the load on primary care and gives a clear path for emotional and relational support.

Workplaces

Structured emotional fitness and conflict navigation for teams, especially in male-heavy industries, to tackle stress and burnout at the root.

Sport and talk

Gyms, fitness hubs and sports clubs, like Better and Fulham Reach, where honest, supported conversation replaces small talk.

Charities

Working with mental health charities to give men a structured space to move beyond crisis and build long-term resilience.
