Sam Delaney
I’m a journalist, author and broadcaster. I write and speak about men, mental health and modern life — drawing on personal experience, long-form journalism, and more than two decades in national media.
Much of my recent work explores:
– How men experience anxiety, depression and burnout
– The role of shame, silence and masculinity in mental health
– The gap between institutional well-being language and real life
– What honesty, humour and realism can offer where platitudes don’t
I’m interested less in quick fixes than in clear thinking, better language and more human conversations.
Selected Work
I’ve written five non-fiction books, including two recent mental health bestsellers, as well as long-form journalism and broadcast work exploring similar themes.

talks & advisory
Alongside my writing and broadcasting, I work with organisations on men’s mental health, workplace culture and communication.
This usually takes the form of talks and conversations shaped by lived experience — drawing on journalism, broadcasting and my own life to explore anxiety, stress, masculinity and modern working life.
The focus is on clarity rather than quick fixes, and on honest, human discussion rather than off-the-shelf wellbeing programmes.
