Therapy for Men in Warwick, Leamington Spa and Online Across the UK
Learn about our therapy services from our founder, Dr Alastair Pipkin
Opening up about emotions or mental health as a man can be incredibly difficult.
Many men fear judgement — fear not being seen as strong or capable. We're taught that talking about feelings isn’t "manly", and often those around us don’t quite understand what we’re going through.
At Unlock Psychology Ltd, we specialise in therapy for men and male mental health support. Our doctoral-trained clinical psychologists offer private, evidence-based help — whether through assessment, CBT therapy, or ongoing support tailored to your needs.
We’ve led published research on men’s mental health, designed and delivered men’s therapy groups, and have male therapists experienced in working with:
-
Anger, stress, burnout
-
Anxiety and low mood
-
Emotional shutdown or avoidance (e.g. overworking, drinking, substance use)
You are not alone — and you don’t need to keep pushing through.
If you’re a man seeking therapy and would like to speak confidentially with a clinical psychologist, we’d be glad to help.
Compassionate, Personalised Counselling for Men
Our experienced clinical psychologists have worked extensively across NHS, academic and community settings to provide therapy tailored to men’s mental health needs. We’ve published research on the unique challenges men face when accessing psychological support and offer a space that is non-judgemental, practical, and grounded in trust.
We prioritise the person first — every session is adapted to suit your goals, challenges, and preferred pace.
If you're looking for a male therapist or a male-friendly therapist in Warwick, Leamington Spa, or online, we’re here to help.
Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, we provide confidential, expert support.
Serving clients across Warwickshire and nationwide via Zoom.
Why Some Men Prefer Male Therapists
Many men feel more comfortable opening up to a male therapist — especially when discussing topics like emotions, masculinity, or personal struggles.
There’s often a shared understanding of:
-
How men are taught to manage emotions through avoidance or over-performance
-
The impact of masculine norms on help-seeking
-
Common challenges around anger, sadness, emotional control, or pressure to “stay strong”
At Unlock Psychology Ltd, our male therapists have specific training and expertise in men’s mental health.
We’ve worked in male-focused NHS services, conducted academic research on men’s mental health, and use the latest evidence-based approaches such as CBT and Compassion-Focused Therapy.
If you’re looking for a therapist who truly understands the unique emotional landscape many men face — we're here to help.
