How to Find a Male Therapist Online

Looking for help is a big step; finding the right therapist can make all the difference.

For many men, speaking to a male therapist feels easier. There’s often less pressure to explain yourself or worry about being misunderstood. It’s not about one being better than the other—it’s about what makes you feel most comfortable opening up.

Whether you’re dealing with stress, low mood, anxiety, or just feel stuck, here’s how to find a male therapist online—and what to look for along the way.

1. Decide What You’re Looking For

Not all therapy is the same. Start by thinking about what you need help with:

• Feeling anxious, angry or low?

• Relationship or family issues?

• Trouble with motivation or confidence?

• General life stress or burnout?

You don’t need a diagnosis to begin therapy, but having a rough idea of what you’re struggling with can help you choose someone who fits.

2. Look for Online-Only Options

Online counselling is becoming more common—and more trusted.

Working with a therapist online (via Teams, Zoom, or another secure platform) means you can speak from the comfort and privacy of your own home. It removes the stress of travel, fits more easily into busy schedules, and often feels more relaxed for first-time clients.

It also means you’re not limited to your local area. You can find someone who suits your needs, even if they live miles away. That freedom makes it much more likely you’ll find a male therapist who truly gets where you’re coming from.

3. Check Their Credentials

A good therapist will be professionally qualified and registered (for example, with BACP, UKCP, or another recognised body). But just as important is how they come across.

Ask yourself:

• Do they seem approachable?

• Do they mention working specifically with men or boys?

• Do they explain their style in plain English?

• Do they offer a free initial chat?

Sometimes it’s less about the label and more about the connection.

4. Trust Your Gut

The right therapist should make you feel heard, respected, and at ease, not judged or analysed. If it doesn’t feel right after a session or two, that’s okay. You’re allowed to try someone else. This is your space.

What I Offer

I’m a male counsellor offering online therapy for men and young men (16+). My style is relaxed, straightforward, and grounded in real conversations. No pressure, no jargon—just space for you to talk about what’s on your mind.

If you’d like to get a feel for how it might work, I offer a free 15-minute consultation via Teams. You can ask questions, share a bit of what’s going on, and see if it feels like a good fit.
