Better Bloke

#076: The Quiet Reasons Men Avoid Therapy

16 Sep 2025

Description

We’ve spoken with thousands of blokes, and the same reasons for avoiding therapy keep popping up. On this episode, we say the quiet part out loud: why men don’t book in, why some first sessions fall flat, and why it often feels like therapy wasn’t designed with blokes in mind.We dig into the big blockers... relatability in a female-dominated field, fear of judgment, not knowing what actually happens in the room, and the belief that “talking about feelings” won’t fix real-world problems. Then we get practical: how to pick a therapist who fits your style, what a first session really looks like, and bloke-friendly alternatives if the couch isn’t your thing.Whether you’ve never tried therapy, had a shocker first run, or you’re the partner/mate trying to help a bloke take the next step... this is a straight-up, no-fluff chat designed to make the whole thing less weird and more useful. Not an anti-therapy rant, just a map that actually helps men get help.
