Ever since embarking on my journey as a counsellor, I have been driven by a strong desire to raise awareness about the mental well-being of men. As a man, I understand the negative associations surrounding expressing emotions and the fear of appearing vulnerable or weak. Conversations about our feelings are simply not commonplace. As a counsellor, I feel a greater sense of duty to inspire a greater number of men to seek counselling without the fear of being judged. I will continue to actively work towards increasing awareness and tackling the stigma with the goal of creating a space where men can openly share their experiences, seek assistance, and place importance on their mental health.
