November 8, 2023
In this episode I welcome psychologist, Carl Nelms. Carl is the founder of Blokes Psychology and has a passion for assisting men to overcome the stigma of reaching out for support. His vision is that by creating a service targeted towards males, more men can improve their psychological health and well-being, stop suffering in silence, and receive the support they desperately need, so they and their families can start living a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Listen in to hear our discussion on - - What the barriers are for men seeking support and why men often don't reach out - Why there is a crisis of masculinity, both in identity and role of men, and what can be done about it - Breaking down the stigma surrounding men's mental health and providing accessible support and resources Links: You can find Carl at: Blokes Psychology Practice https://blokespsychology.com.au/ Carl's practice provides face to face psychological support & counselling to boys' & men, specifically tailored for males and also offer services via telehealth (phone & video sessions) to males all around the country and the world. They currently have clinicians in the Bayside and Eastern suburbs of Melbourne (Cheltenham & Hawthorn, Scoresby & Telehealth Australia wide). Carl also hosts The Blokes Psychology Podcast.
