Group Facilitator: Brad Hallett (he/him)
Born and raised in Cornwall, Brad graduated with a BSc in Psychology back in 2019. Since then, he has been working as an SLTTA in a SEND school and as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities.
A lover of the great outdoors - whether it’s hiking up mountains or cycling through woodland - he enjoys nothing more than exploring new places with those closest to him.
Brad believes that “men need more open spaces where they can feel safe and comfortable to talk about what’s going on in their own mind. It’s easy for guys to internalise the toxic masculine norms that they should bury their emotions and ‘man up’; Men Who Talk creates a space that defies those expectations”
Group Facilitator: George Gosling (he/him)
George is a 22-year-old BSc Psychology graduate living in Wales with experience in healthcare and mental health settings. He currently works as an assistant psychologist at a hospital for adults with learning disabilities and complex mental health.
Outside of work, you’ll find George hiking around Wales or paddleboarding along the coast on sunnier days.
About men who talk, George says: “Men are unfortunately faced with the stigma that they must suppress their feelings to meet societal expectations of masculinity. This is a huge barrier to them seeking support for their mental health and wellbeing”.
George believes that Men Who Talk creates accessible, safe spaces where men can begin to normalise talking about their feelings and mental health.

Harry's principal interests are language learning, music, and comedy, but there are very few things he won't entertain in conversation, for his one and true love is people. If you are passionate about something, or in need of a friendly ear to offload to, Harry is your man.
Harry believes fervently that conversation, compassion, and active listening can alleviate us of our suffering, and that open, supportive spaces like MWT can help us to build a happier, and more loving world for us all to inhabit.
