Simon Rinne - Host of The Mindful Men Podcast - Men's Health, Mental Health, Support for Men just like you!

Hi, I’m Simon

Living with mental illness sucks! It’s draining, stigmatizing and scary. It impacts our wellbeing, our relationships, our focus and drive.

How do I know?

Because I’ve lived with mental illness for over 30 years. Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Burnout are all challenges I’ve been working through over the years… and I still am!

I started Mindful Men in 2021 to share my story, and help normalize discussions about mental health. My aim is to encourage boys and men to open up, get vulnerable and deal with the issues that are troubling them.

My therapeutic approach is informed by my lived experience of mental illness, but also my life as a husband, father and bloke. I am a qualified Social Worker, and have 15 years experience in the Australian Public Service (APS); including working for the Department of Home Affairs, Australian Border Force, and more recently, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) as a Senior Planner.

My primary aim is to support men to improve their wellbeing, however I won’t turn you away if you don’t identify as being a man! My services are also available to women, children and non-binary individuals seeking support.

My professional interests include:

Mental Health Depression Anxiety Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Disability Fatherhood Family Relationships Workplace Stress Burnout Values
