A space for honest conversation
’True Men Collective’ is a facilitated online group for men who want to talk about real life. No performance. No quick fixes. Just grounded conversation, reflection and connection with other men who value honesty and growth.
What’s involved?
Weekly online gatherings * First session Free *
Not therapy. A facilitated collective
Honest Check-Ins for those wishing to speak

Alias names on screen if required
Not preachy and not for the host to teach or for participants to lecture others
Respectful conversation allowing others’ opinions
No pressure to speak - your presence alone is okay
Guest speakers and open discussion
Inclusive. Respectful. Confidential
The Facilitator
Led by Kaz Hazelwood BSc.(Hons) Dip. Psych Dip. Couns MNCPS (Accred) ICF, ASC, EMCC
Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor | Certified ADHD Coach | Accredited Executive Coach | Ecotherapist | Champion for Men’s & Neurodiverse Mental Health
Kaz is a counsellor, psychotherapist, ADHD and executive coach and group facilitator. She is also a champion for men’s and neurodivers mental health. Her approach is practical, relational and down to earth. She brings experience in men’s therapy, somatic and creative work, and invites outside speakers to broaden the conversation when possible. She will introduce the topics with insights and open questions and the rest is over to you. She will facilitate by asking thought-provoking questions and keeping the conversation moving.
Safeguarding and signposting
Your wellbeing matters
This collective is not designed for crisis. If you are in immediate danger, contact emergency services. For urgent mental health support in the UK, contact NHS 111 and ask for the mental health team or reach Samaritans on 116 123. If you need therapy, please reach out to me on steppingout.life@gmail.com
Practical details

Why is there a fee? Unlike some other online support groups, I am not a charitable organisation and do not receive donations. Maybe in the future this may happen if it’s popular enough, but for now you are in the safe hands of a qualified and insured psychotherapist and coach, with oodles of training behind her and who has your best interest at heart. I am hoping that the fee is a reasonable reflection of what you will take away from these sessions.
Booking: Secure online booking and payment system, allowing you to cancel up to 24 hours before the session for a full refund.
What to bring A quiet private space and your honest self.
Minimum of 5 participants for the session to run - you will be notified by 7pm the night before if the session is cancelled and if it is, you will receive a full refund.
Who this is for?
For men who want depth without drama
This is for men who are curious about themselves, who want to speak plainly, listen well and connect with other men in a discussion forum. You might be navigating work pressure, relationships, fatherhood, midlife shifts, neurodivergence or the question of what a good life looks like now.
You do not need experience of men’s groups
Bring yourself as you are. Quiet is welcome. Honesty is encouraged.
What the group is not
Not therapy. Not a fix
True Men Collective is therapeutic but it isn’t therapy, a diagnosis or crisis support. It is a facilitated space for conversation, reflection and community. If you need clinical or urgent support, you can contact me directly at steppingout.life@gmail.com to book an appointment to discuss your needs.
