Talking To My Thoughts

About Talking To My Thoughts

Talking To My Thoughts is a peer-led space for all men. We offer honest conversation, reflection and community, without pushing you into a clinical frame. Fatherhood and co-parenting are the current campaign, not the limit of who this is for.

Why we exist

  • Men reach for help less often

    Men are still less likely than women to seek psychological support. Pride, stigma, and the pressure to look composed can keep difficult thoughts private until they spill into relationships, work, or health.

  • What sits underneath the pressure

    Anger, withdrawal and overload are ways pressure can show up. They are not a verdict on someone's character. Naming what is going on, in ordinary language, is where reflection can start.

  • How we show up

    We are peer-led and conversation-led, not therapist-led. We hold structure and signposting in our spaces. We do not diagnose, treat, or replace professional care when that is what someone needs.

Co-founder

Craig Riviere

Co-founder · life coaching, speaking, digital product

Craig is a life coach and motivational speaker who helps men slow down, reflect, and find steadier language under pressure.

Through @mrpositivecr and live work, he keeps encouragement practical and honest rather than performative.

He also builds our digital pathways so conversation becomes private tools men can return to, without blurring our boundaries.

Our goals

Short term

  • We give men a credible non-clinical entry point
  • We turn reflection into next steps
  • We keep offers honest about what we have actually heard

Long term

  • We want men to have somewhere honest to speak before pressure hardens into silence
  • We work with partners when a bounded reflective offer is the right fit
  • We keep the work sustainable

Who we serve

Men

TTMT is for men who want room to reflect, speak and grow. Fatherhood and co-parenting are the current campaign, including separation, co-parenting strain, access stress, and the silence that builds when there is nowhere safe to speak.

Community and organisational partners

We talk with teams that want a bounded reflective offer for men, without therapy claims or generic wellbeing language. Nothing is open to book yet.
