We offer Men in Ipswich, Suffolk with a chance to meet on a regular basis, offering a non-judgemental safe environment to help combat male loneliness and isolation.

Men Can Talk was started by David Rowe of La Chispa Counselling. The Groups are Free to attend and are a voluntary service by La Chispa Counselling.

​​

After his own battles with physical and mental health, David felt there was a lack of places where Men can meet up and just talk through personal issues or just chat. It's very easy to self-isolate and feel alone, or you do not want to burden friends or family with issues, or they do not have time for a chat and a cup of coffee as everyone lives such busy lives.
