About Us
Mindful Men is a therapy service dedicated to supporting boys and men to thrive in life. We understand that everyone’s journey is unique, and provide flexible and practical approaches to support that work for you!
Don’t like traditional clinical settings? Thats OK! In addition to clinical settings, we also take therapy outside and into the community. We like to shake things up by going for a walk, grabbing a coffee, or sitting in a park. Not only does talking help us feel better, but the fresh air and sunlight provides an added bonus! And if you can’t see us in person, we also have Telehealth options available.
Mindful Men is is a neurodivergent-affirming practice. We support boys and men with a range of neurodiverse conditions, including Autism, ADHD and OCD. In fact, our Founder and Director, Simon Rinne, is a lived experience therapist who has lived with OCD for over 30 years. We pride ourselves on making therapy accessible, and adapting it to meet the needs of our clients.
