Welcome to By Alex Holmes.
This is a newsletter by Alex Holmes, a writer and the author of Time To Talk: How Men Think About Love, Belonging, and Connection.
Welcome.
My name is Alex Holmes.
I am a mental health coach and trained counsellor.
I am a writer and photographer.
This publication is my attempt at cataloguing conversations with people about their deepest stories, humourous takes on life, personal triumphs, tales of overcoming and powerful anecdotes that show that life is one risk worth taking.
Why? I know in my heart that God wants us to be mentally well, and that starts with community. We need one another, and your story matters.
I am the author of Time To Talk: How Men Think About Love, Belonging, and Connection - a book about men’s mental health.
I also contributed to SAFE: Black British Men Reclaiming Space.
I’ve written for British GQ, Metro, Tortoise Media, Happiful, The Independent, The Guardian, and The Telegraph.
