Facts about email counselling…

  • It’s private and confidential - conversations are protected with strict security and encryption.
  • It’s FREE. All you need is Internet access.

  • We keep track of what we’re doing, so we know what you’ve been talking about before.
  • You can still call us to talk, even if you’ve emailed us already.

Tips to get you started…

The more info you provide, the better we can help you with what’s happening. It also means we can respond faster with more useful information.

Tell us a little bit about yourself:

Your name, age, gender and postcode all help

Here’s some questions to get you started:

  • What’s been happening?
  • Have you tried other things to help the situation?
