About Us

A Holistic Approach to Men’s Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing

Our approach is inclusive and integrative, combining different therapeutic techniques to best support our clients. We focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where men can explore their emotions, understand the root causes of their behaviours, and work towards meaningful change. This includes addressing issues like anger management, conflict resolution, and communication skills

Meet Founder,Roy Akins, MA, BSc (Hons), Dip.Couns, MBACP

I am an Integrative Counsellor with specialised expertise in supporting men through a broad spectrum of personal and professional challenges.

My practice is dedicated to helping both young and adult men navigate the unique pressures they face, whether these arise from: Workplace Demands, Fatherhood, Educational Attainment, Personal Relationships, Domestic Abuse, Complex Family Dynamics, Significant Life Transitions, Seperation, Financial Stress, Loss and Bereavement, or Social Isolation.

With extensive experience in understanding the specific challenges men encounter, I am committed to offering tailored therapeutic support that meets their individual needs. My goal therefore, is to make MENSCAPE a standout agency dedicated to empowering men and helping them rewrite their narratives.

The Genesis of MENSCAPE

When I was creating MENSCAPE, I was inspired by the suffix "-scape," which denotes "an extensive view, scenery," or "a picture or representation" of such a view. We see this in words like "landscape," "cityscape," and "seascape." For MENSCAPE, this suffix signifies a broad, comprehensive representation or view of maleness and the male experience.
My vision for MENSCAPE was to create a space that offers "an extensive view and scenery from a male perspective" and "a picture or representation of maleness in all its forms." This interpretation aligns perfectly with the traditional use of "-scape." It underscores our commitment to providing counselling and therapeutic coaching services that explore the wide-ranging aspects of what it means to be male. We aim to address and delve into the emotional, psychological, social, and physical dimensions of male life, ensuring a holistic and inclusive approach to male development and well-being.

Our Vision

At MENSCAPE, we envision a future where men are empowered to prioritise their mental health and wellbeing, without fear of judgment or stigma. A future where men can openly express their emotions, vulnerabilities, and strengths, and receive support and understanding in return.

A World Where:

  • Men can thrive, not just survive

  • Mental health is valued as much as physical health

  • Men embrace vulnerability as courage, and strength lies in their growth

  • Men can build meaningful relationships and connections

  • Resilience and growth are fostered through challenges and setbacks

  • Men can explore their emotions and challenges without fear

  • Compassionate guidance and support are always available

  • Personal growth and transformation are nurtured

  • Men can become the best version of themselves
