Let me tell you a little bit about me and how this website came about. I'm a traditional tea-sipping Brit based in London, England. I've always had a professional white-collar career in a male-dominated environment — I used to work in banking. Together with having a wide circle of male friends since childhood, it's given me a real insight into the male psyche.
But more than that, for as far back as I can remember, I have had a deep empathy for men and the challenges that they face.
I am a woman that completely rejects the notion of "male privilege" and as such I have genuine understanding and compassion for the struggles men face in this modern, often gynocentric world.
Beginning in my late teenage years and continuing throughout my 20s and 30s I have regularly acted as a confidante to my male friends and colleagues. This just arose naturally, as a result of men sensing that I understood them in a way that many women didn't seem to. I helped them deal with their problems, with a sensitivity and maturity that a man, for example, would find it hard to do.
Over the years I've helped many men deal with some really quite difficult problems they've had going on in their lives and in their minds — often things which they've been too embarrassed or ashamed to speak to anyone else about.
I've often been thanked for being very easy to talk to. I'm matter-of-fact, straight-talking, frank, pretty much unshockable, and not at all shy where problems of a sexual nature are concerned — which is useful since sexual problems seem to be one of the most common issues men struggle with.
I've found this to be the case regardless of age or whether the man is married, and there's probably not a subject related to sex that I've not helped a man with at some stage, so you can rest assured that whatever your problem is, the chances are that I've heard it all before, and been able to sensitively guide someone through it.
Finally, I'm NOT doing this predominately for monetary gain. After over 20 years of spending many, many hours of my life helping men in my free time, I finally decided that to continue my vital role in supporting more men I was going to need to make this my main occupation now.
So many men are suffering, very often alone and in silence, and I take great pleasure in being able to help someone through a difficult time in their life when they feel that things are literally hopeless and they are sinking under their own bottled-up emotions.
I totally understand how men get to the dark places they do, and that's why I think I'm so good at helping them find their way back out again.
