Men's Mental Health Support: Pint-Sized Problems

Why Pint-sized problems?

I launched the Pint Sized Problems men’s group chat because I believe men are increasingly overlooked in today’s social landscape. While women have rightfully been empowered to seek equal rights, voices, and opportunities, many men find themselves lacking guidance on their evolving roles. Insights from male-centered psychology indicate that men no longer need to fit the ‘alpha male’ stereotype in relationships or be the sole breadwinner. Unfortunately, society often fails to provide a clear roadmap for navigating these changes. Pint Sized Problems is dedicated to creating a supportive space where men can explore their identity, redefine their understanding of strength, and discover purpose in ways that feel authentic to them.

Men's mental health group meets weekly at The Maltings Tap House to break stigma.

About Pint Sized Problems

Pint Sized Problems is a male-centered psychology space where men can come together to engage in a men's group chat and share what’s happening in their lives. By discussing common experiences, you'll quickly realize that you're not alone when facing certain thoughts or challenges. The name Pint Sized Problems reflects our approach; we focus on keeping conversations light and centered on the here-and-now, avoiding deep dives into the past.

About Me

I’m a qualified counsellor based in Newton Abbot, specializing in male-centered psychology. My goal is straightforward: to empower men to move forward with confidence, understanding that past choices or experiences do not dictate their identity today. In addition to my practice, I am studying and researching men’s mental health, and what I’ve uncovered is quite alarming. The statistics, outdated beliefs, and lingering expectations are deeply concerning. For instance, did you know that men die by suicide at a rate five times higher than women? Over 96% of men in prison, compared to just 4% of women, exemplify this issue. These figures aren’t merely numbers; they highlight significant challenges facing men in today's society. I’m launching this men's group chat not to oppose women but to create a supportive space where men can better understand themselves, their evolving roles, their direction, and their purpose, or simply find peace with their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs—even when confronting pint-sized problems.

What You Need

Pint Sized Problems isn’t a business or a charity, and it doesn’t cost a thing. All I ask is that you: Are male, show respect to everyone in the group, and bring your thoughts, a sense of humour, and perhaps a couple of quid for a pint afterwards. This male-centered psychology initiative encourages open discussions and camaraderie among peers in our men's group chat. 


When and Where 


Starting from the 24th September! We meet on Wednesdays from 7–9 PM at The Maltings Taphouse, upstairs in the function room. To keep the atmosphere relaxed and simple, the group is initially limited to 10 guys, but we will expand if interest in this male-centered psychology initiative grows.

Darts tournament for men's mental health awareness with prizes and discounted beers.

🎯 Around the World Darts Tournament


Where every number is a destination and the dartboard is your globe!


🌍 Why “Around the World”?  

Imagine the dartboard as a miniature planet. Each number from 1 to 20 is a stop on your global adventure. Your mission? Travel to every destination in order, then land the final shot at the bullseye to claim victory.


🕹️ How to Play  

• Each player gets three darts per turn.  

• Your goal is to hit numbers 1 through 20 in sequence, followed by the bullseye.  

• You must hit the current target number to move forward. Miss it? Your turn ends, and you’ll retry that number on your next go.  

• If you hit multiple correct numbers in order, you’ll pick up where you left off next turn.  

• Example: Hit 1 and 2, miss 3 → next turn, you aim for 3.  

• The first player to complete all 20 numbers and hit the bullseye wins the game and the pot!


This isn’t just about hitting numbers; it’s about taking a pause from the everyday grind.  

The Around the World darts tournament is designed to promote men’s mental health through male-centered psychology in a fun, friendly, and low-pressure environment. It’s a chance to connect, laugh, and experience what Pint Sized Problems offers:


• A welcoming space for honest conversation  

• Emotional support without judgment  

• Playful tools for exploring your thoughts, feelings, and patterns  

• Strategies for growth, connection, and positive change  


Whether you’re here for the competition or the camaraderie, every throw is a step toward something deeper. And who knows, your next bullseye might just lead to emotional clarity during your men's group chat.
