The Coach Trap Podcast
Why Men Don't Talk (And Where They Actually Do) | Stuart Walker on Grief, AI & the Coach Trap
This week on the Coach Trap Podcast, we sit down with psychotherapist Stuart Walker, whose work focuses on men, fathers, grief and neurodivergence, for a raw conversation about why men struggle to ask for help and where they actually open up instead. We get into why Reddit and X see more male vulnerability than LinkedIn ever will, whether praising "strong and silent" behaviour is quietly making it harder for men to speak up, and how the death of pubs, football terraces and FIFA nights together has left a gap that AI chatbots are now filling for a growing number of people. Stuart also shares an anecdote about a client who paid £10,000 for counselling qualifications that weren't even recognised by BACP, and we talk about why the coaching and therapy industry stays so unregulated, and what that actually means for anyone looking for real help. Stuart also answers Dan's question on marketing versus competence in an unregulated industry, live on the show.
