Free & Confidential Counselling

Living with a problem drinker can be really hard work. Often you will feel at the end of your tether. You will have to put up with many difficulties. Sometimes it will be their frightening or embarrassing behaviour and often you will have feelings of frustration, because whatever you try to do the drinker never seems to change.

You may feel guilty, ashamed, embarrassed and alone. You might feel shut off from the rest of the world with no-one else to turn to.

If you would like to talk to someone about how you feel we can offer short, medium or long term counselling. If you would like to make a referral for counselling please call 01952 223165 or email impactaas@concernedothers.co.uk.
