Hi, I’m Emma — the face behind EC Therapy.

November marks Men’s Mental Health Month, a cause that’s incredibly close to my heart. When I was younger, I sadly lost my dad, Tim, to suicide. Looking back, I’ve always felt he didn’t receive the support he truly needed. At that time, open conversations around mental health — especially for men — were still very taboo. I often wonder if things might have been different had he had a safe space to talk openly and access the right help and guidance.

To honour his memory, raise awareness, and encourage men to reach out for support, on 1st November I’ll be dedicating my entire day at EC Therapy to this cause. I’ll be offering 30-minute massages, with 100% of the proceeds donated to an amazing charity called Mandem Meetup.

This incredible organisation supports men’s mental health by creating spaces for honest, judgment-free conversations and organising community meet-ups that help men connect, talk, and heal together. They also run activities that bring men together in positive, uplifting ways — helping to build the strong bonds that so many need.

If you’d like to support this cause but can’t make it in person, you can do so by donating here. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps make a difference — and together, we can help more men find the strength to speak up and seek support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Emma xx
