Do I need to have any other kind of support to help me -

I am feeling suicidal and people struggle to speak to me because of this. Would this be a problem for you. -

I'm having difficulties with getting services from my GP, mental health services etc. would you be prepared to write a report on my behalf or intercede on my behalf -

Yes

My life feels like it's overwhelming and I just want to talk about all of the problems that I have. I just need someone to listen. -

How does somebody like you cope with constantly hearing about other people's lives, their pain, their problems. Doesn’t this get to you after a while? -

What comeback do I have if I feel that the time I've spent talking to you has not been useful and I have not achieved what I expected. Is there somebody to complain to, or can I get a refund? -

I am experiencing a very difficult time and struggling with my emotions and suicidal thoughts etc. Can I make contact with you whenever I need to, to help me through these times. -

You don’t describe yourself as a therapist, or counsellor, and yet these terms are being used all across this website? -

What will we be speaking about during these sessions -

Do you just sit there and listen to me talk about myself, or is there more to it than that? -

I don’t want to get bombarded by emails, and I certainly don’t want any pressure to book sessions with you. What will I get from you if I register on this site -

I have spoken to people in the past and end up feeling worse afterwards. Is it possible to prevent this, or how would you suggest managing this if there is no alternative. -

You say things to me, and then I go and talk about the same stuff with my family and friends and they say the complete opposite. What on earth is going on? Who do I listen to…. -
