Strength To Talk

A thought-provoking collection of personal stories shared by courageous (often first time) authors who want to support and normalise men talking about their experiences with mental health.

Fighting through adversity, illness, relationships, rejection, suicidal thoughts and everyday expectations, these authors give real-life insight into the very real struggle facing countless men around the world, as well as their partners, family and friends.  We hope this collection will positively impact anyone suffering in silence and that it will help other men and women reach out, get the help they need, and never feel alone.

Testimonials

The following are client responses to the question, “How likely would you recommend Richard Whitenstall?”

 

“Richard is very open and kind. He remembers what we last spoke about and gives me practical support and ideas to try. He offers me reassurance that my feelings are valid, which is something I struggle with. He’s helped me overcome some fears that were really affecting me. Thank you so much!”

 

“Rich is the most helpful-for-me-personally therapist I have seen in my years of trying different therapy approaches. He is a thoughtful and considerate listener who also helps encourage me to stay thoughtful and considerate to myself!”

 

“Richard has a fantastic skill for attentively listening to my concerns in an empathic way. His manner is friendly, trusting, and approachable. From our first session, I felt a connection with Richard, which helped greatly in giving me that constructive and safe space to talk.”

 

“One of the best therapists I’ve had, and I’ve unfortunately had my fair share of therapy. Rich is very knowledgeable about many mental health issues and a variety of therapy approaches to addressing them, and he is an active listener who pays attention to/cares about what you have to say.”

 

“Richard is brilliant, and I feel much more confident after my sessions with him. I’m so glad I got him as a counsellor.“
