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. -

How the mental health services work today..or don’t in many cases.. -

What if I don’t want regular sessions. I may want a few, then break, and pick up when it suits down the line, would this be ok?? -

Do you ever share information about yourself in any way? I have spoken to people in the past where it feels very one-sided and they came across as very guarded and would not share anything about themselves. -

Why Doesn't your website have any feedback from other clients, testimonials, recommendations etc?

I would however appreciate any kind of feedback, or comment of any kind, and from anybody. You don’t have to log in to do this, just use the contact me section.

I take any comments and feedback seriously, everybody has an opinion, and is entitled to express those.

What I do hope is that, regardless of whether you choose to work with me, or find someone else, that the information provided here could be useful.

I have tried to answer a whole range of questions that I think people may reasonably want to know when they are seeking help.

Part of the reason for doing this is because I literally couldn't find this kind of information anywhere else.

The majority of websites offering access to therapists, or support just provide a brief bio, and often people with lots of qualifications, and letters after their names. They tell you little else.

What I have attempted to do here is to be completely clear, and very transparent in what is on offer, but also, what will be expected from you….because that is equally important.

Yes, I’m sorry about...

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…. -

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. -

How the mental health services work today..or don’t in many cases.. -

What if I don’t want regular sessions. I may want a few, then break, and pick up when it suits down the line, would this be ok?? -

You need to create protected time. This means that the time you are going to be spending speaking to me should be free of interruptions, distractions etc. What does this actually mean? -

Why Doesn't your website have any feedback from other clients, testimonials, recommendations etc?

I would however appreciate any kind of feedback, or comment of any kind, and from anybody. You don’t have to log in to do this, just use the contact me section.

I take any comments and feedback seriously, everybody has an opinion, and is entitled to express those.

What I do hope is that, regardless of whether you choose to work with me, or find someone else, that the information provided here could be useful.

I have tried to answer a whole range of questions that I think people may reasonably want to know when they are seeking help.

Part of the reason for doing this is because I literally couldn't find this kind of information anywhere else.

The majority of websites offering access to therapists, or support just provide a brief bio, and often people with lots of qualifications, and letters after their names. They tell you little else.

What I have attempted to do here is to be completely clear, and very transparent in what is on offer, but also, what will be expected from you….because that is equally important.

This service is...

It is very important that...

What kind of issues can be helped by sessions with you? -

This list can be endless....

The amount you charge per session is significantly lower than other services that are on offer. Does this in any way reflect the quality of support you are offering? -

I am a huge...

Why Doesn't your website have any feedback from other clients, testimonials, recommendations etc? -

How strict will time-keeping be during any sessions? -

I am unsure about engaging in phone counselling so is there any way to have a trial session to see if this will work for me or to see if I feel I can work with you. -

I would like to record the sessions. Do you have an issue with this, and do I need your permission to do so? -

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…. -

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
