Welcome to Episode 15 of No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub, a directory of male therapists for male clients.

In this episode, Dr Jett Stone speaks with Dr Stephen Smith, a New York–based clinical psychologist whose work spans psychotherapy, teaching and organisational consulting. Stephen shares his journey from studying theatre and forensic psychology to becoming one of the few Black male psychologists in the US – a journey shaped by representation, mentorship and persistence.

They explore what it means for Black men to feel seen in therapy, the importance of language and cultural resonance, and how traditional models can unintentionally alienate men of colour. Stephen also discusses how he works with clients in a slower, more relational way – creating space for trust, emotion and authenticity to unfold naturally.

Welcome to Episode 14 of No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub.

In this episode, Chris Hemmings speaks with Dr Zac Seidler, one of the world’s leading voices on men’s mental health. Zac is the Global Director of Men’s Health Research at Movember and Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne, where he leads the Young Men’s Mental Health Lab. His work focuses on masculinity, male suicide prevention and how therapy can better engage and retain men.

Chris and Zac explore why many men find it difficult to stay in therapy, how socialisation shapes emotional expression, and what it takes to create spaces where men can talk honestly. They also discuss Men in Mind, the world’s first evidence-based training programme designed to help therapists understand and support men in distress.

Welcome to Episode 13 of No Man’s an Island – a podcast powered by Men’s Therapy Hub.

In this episode, Chris Hemmings speaks with Professor Ben Hine, a psychologist, author and academic whose work explores the lived experiences of men and boys in modern society. As Chair of the Male Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society and co-founder of the Men and Boys Coalition, Ben brings evidence-based insight into how culture, policy and ideology shape conversations about gender.

They discuss male victimhood, parental alienation, and why evidence and empathy must come before ideology. Ben shares his personal experience of family breakdown, the long-term psychological impact of alienation on children, and his research showing that both mothers and fathers are equally affected.

This conversation challenges assumptions about gender, explores how societal narratives silence men’s pain, and asks how we can build fair, evidence-based systems that support everyone.
