🥊 MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH MEET-UP 🧠

Sometimes it helps just to sit down, have a drink and talk.

Our Men’s Mental Health Meet-Up is a relaxed and friendly evening for men to come together, meet others and have a chat in an informal environment.

📍 Marion’s Lounge, The Loft Lounge & Bar, Street
🗓️ Every other Thursday (Starting 12 Nov 2026)
⏰ 7:30pm – 9:00pm

There’s no pressure to talk about anything you don’t want to. You can simply come along, listen, have a coffee and meet some like-minded people.

The evening includes:

🤝 Meet others – an opportunity to build connections in a friendly environment.

💬 Talk and listen – share experiences, have a chat and support one another.

🧠 Counsellor in attendance once a month – providing an opportunity to access advice and guidance.

☕ Complimentary tea, coffee and soft drinks – because sometimes a cuppa and a chat is all you need.

This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s simply about creating an opportunity for men to get together, talk if they want to, listen to others and know that they don’t have to do everything on their own.

Everyone is welcome, whether you’ve been before or it’s your first time.

We are looking for 2 - 3 volunteers to support us at the Snug, who can cover a 2 hour shift. We're seeking volunteers with experience of counselling, listening or one-to-one support roles who are trauma aware and have an understanding of safeguarding. Volunteers will also help with light tasks in the space such as ensuring that refreshments are topped up.

Today, October 10, is World Mental Health Day. 💚🌍

Your mental health matters — every day, not just today.

It’s okay to slow down.
It’s okay to ask for help.
It’s okay to have days when you’re not okay.
And it’s okay to take life one step at a time. 🌿

Let’s listen without judgment, check in on the people we love, and create spaces where everyone feels safe to speak about how they truly feel. 🫂💚

Be kind to your mind. You deserve care, patience, and understanding too. ✨

I wonder how many of us have become so focused on regulating our nervous systems that we’ve forgotten we’re also allowed to simply experience our emotions.⁣
⁣
I see this happening quite often in the healing space, where we learn about nervous system regulation and begin to believe that every uncomfortable emotion, sensation or reaction is something we need to regulate, manage or change.⁣
⁣
We feel anxious, and immediately look for a practice to calm ourselves down. We get angry, and start worrying that we’re dysregulated. We feel sad, and wonder why we’re still feeling this way despite all the healing work we’ve done.⁣
⁣
Something I think we need to understand: not every uncomfortable emotion is a sign of nervous system dysregulation, and not every emotion needs to be regulated away.⁣
⁣
Our nervous system is designed to respond to life, and life comes with experiences that will naturally affect how we feel, think and behave.⁣
⁣
I think it’s important that we learn to recognise the difference between experiencing an emotion and becoming so overwhelmed by that emotion that we struggle to cope with it.⁣
⁣
Because sometimes we do need additional support to regulate ourselves, especially when our emotions feel too intense. ⁣
⁣
But there are also moments when what we need is to allow ourselves to feel disappointed, angry, sad or afraid without immediately trying to change how we feel.⁣
⁣
Part of developing a healthier relationship with our nervous system is learning that we can experience uncomfortable emotions without automatically treating them as a problem that needs fixing.⁣
