Chris Hemmings returns for the second time to this podcast, the second of only 2 guests to do so!

Chris Hemmings is a therapist and coach who specialises in working with men. He’s the founder of Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients. Before training to be a therapist he was a BBC journalist, writing and making documentaries about men, masculinity and mental health. He’s also the founder of M-Path, who go in to schools across the UK speaking to students about what it means to be a man.

• The Men's therapy hub - what is it?
• The previous faults of therapy.
• The faults of the medical profession.
• How more men will come to therapy if they see themselves represented in the therapeutic space.
• A brilliant "fish" analogy about men in therapy.
• "Change the model to fit men, not change men to fit the model"
• Why many men relish a challenge and some don't and a theory of why.
• The most common issues for men in therapy.
• The ultimate act of violence on the self.
• The future plan for the Men's Therapy Hub.
