Counselling for Men in Tunbridge Wells and Online
Real, down-to-earth support for men’s mental health
I’m Dom McMurray, a qualified counsellor who specialises in therapy for men. I offer private counselling sessions both online and in person from my therapy room in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
I also write as a mental health columnist for Men’s Fitness magazine, where I share insights on stress, resilience, and emotional wellbeing to help more men feel supported.
Men come to therapy for all kinds of reasons. You might be feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, lost after a breakup, stuck in old habits, or simply unsure what’s going on. You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes it just starts with talking.
A Counsellor Who Gets It
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the creative sector. I balanced long hours, deadlines, running my own business, and family life. Like many men, I learnt to keep going no matter what. On the surface I was coping. Underneath, not always.
Therapy gave me space to understand what was going on and how I wanted things to change. It helped me let go of the pressure to keep holding it all in. After the pandemic, I set up a men’s running group to offer peer support and connection. It showed me how powerful it can be when men feel able to talk openly. That’s what inspired me to train as a counsellor.
