The Reality

Mental health matters. Especially for men.

By 50, stress compounds. Work pressure, family stuff, health concerns, getting older — it all stacks. 1 in 5 men experience depression or anxiety, but most never talk about it. A good therapist doesn't fix everything, but they give you actual tools. Real men, real support, no pretending you're fine.

Important: We match you with registered, qualified psychologists. Therapy takes time — there's no quick fix. What works depends on you, your therapist, and your commitment to the process. Some men feel better in a few weeks; others take months. Both are normal.

Treatment options

Two ways to get started.

Once-off Session

R750 – R1,500per session

Perfect if you're not sure about ongoing therapy or want to test the waters. Book a session when things get heavy or you just need to talk to someone. Flexible scheduling — mornings, evenings, weekends available. One psychologist, or switch next time if the fit isn't right.

  • ✓ Book whenever you need support
  • ✓ No long-term commitment
  • ✓ Flexible scheduling
  • ✓ 60-minute private video / phone sessions

Monthly Plan

R2,500 – R5,000per month

For deeper work. Four sessions per month — one a week — with the same psychologist creates consistency and real progress. You build trust, they learn your patterns, and actual change happens. Better for depression, ongoing stress, or working through bigger life stuff.

  • ✓ Same therapist every week
  • ✓ Weekly cadence — real momentum
  • ✓ Better for lasting change
  • ✓ Better value than ad-hoc sessions

What to expect: Your first session is about getting to know each other. The psychologist listens, asks questions, and you decide if the fit is right. Some men feel relief just talking to someone; others take a few weeks to open up. Real change usually takes months, not weeks. If the first psychologist isn't a good fit, you can switch. Therapy works best when you show up and do the work.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can access a psychologist directly through Chyna. without any referral. That's the whole point.
Is this a real psychologist?
Yes — all our practitioners are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Fully qualified, fully regulated.
What if I just want to talk — I'm not 'mentally ill'?
Most men who see us aren't in crisis. They're dealing with stress, pressure, relationship strain or just feeling flat. You don't need a diagnosis to benefit from talking to someone.
Is it confidential?
Completely. Nothing is shared with your employer, GP, or anyone else without your explicit consent. POPIA-compliant.
Can I do follow-up sessions?
Yes. Sessions are per-session with no lock-in. You decide when and how often you want to continue.
