Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Talkspace: Online therapy platform providing individual and couples therapy with licensed therapists. Comparable in offering remote 1-1 counselling with qualified therapists, though serves a much wider demographic and is a for-profit, scaled digital service.
• BetterHelp: Large online counselling platform offering 1-1 therapy with licensed professionals via messaging, video, and phone. Overlaps with Mend's 1-1 counselling offering and Gestalt/BACP-registered therapist pool, but serves a much broader audience and operates digitally at scale.
• Movember Foundation: Global men's health charity funding programmes in mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate cancer. Comparable in targeting men's mental health at scale and CIC/charity structure, though primarily a grant-maker and awareness campaigner rather than direct service provider.
• Samaritans: UK-wide charity providing 24/7 emotional support helpline for anyone in distress, including men. Comparable non-clinical, listening-based mental health support model and charity structure, though operates nationally at scale with a phone/online helpline rather than in-person groups.
• Heads Together: UK mental health campaign spearheaded by the Royal Foundation targeting stigma reduction, including a focus on men's mental health. Comparable mission around encouraging men to discuss mental health, though operates as a campaign/coalition rather than direct service provider.

Direct peers

• Andy's Man Club: UK-based non-profit running free, peer-led monthly men's mental health support groups in person across multiple UK locations. Most directly comparable to Mend's monthly Borehamwood men's group model, target audience (men struggling with mental health), and community-led GTM motion.
• Man Up At Tree: Strategic partner of Mend Men's Mental Health — UK-based provider of 3-day rights-of-passage and nature-connection retreats on Dartmoor for men. Directly comparable outdoor therapeutic retreat offering, target audience (men seeking growth/connection), and non-clinical modality.
• CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably): UK charity dedicated to preventing male suicide, offering helpline, webchat, and community resources specifically for men. Comparable target audience and men's mental health mission, though operates at much larger scale with paid media and a helpline rather than in-person therapy groups.
• Men's Sheds Association: UK charity supporting community-based men's sheds providing spaces for connection, practical activities, and peer support. Highly comparable in targeting isolated men, community-led in-person gathering model, and non-clinical approach to mental wellbeing.

Emerging players

• Togetherall: Online peer-to-peer mental health community moderated by clinicians, offering anonymous support forums. Comparable in providing safe peer-support community for mental health, but operates digitally and is clinically moderated rather than purely community-led like Mend.
