Our free advice service is provided by fully qualified medical and counselling personnel with specialist experience in this area. However there are limitations to the effectiveness of this form of advice. The advice given is based on general principles established from our experience. We tailor it to your particular case as stated in the enquiry, but our advisors have not seen the patient and can only advise on the basis of what they are told by email or by telephone, which can lack emphasis, tone or emotion (all of which can help in diagnosing patients seen face to face). Denial can be an issue in cases of substance misuse, and this may be difficult to spot from and email or telephone assessment.

For specific advice in your particular case we recommend seeing your GP, using our Counselling Service, or if you are concerned the condition is an urgent one, attending your local Accident and Emergency Department. Free advice is only provided to residents of the United Kingdom. By requesting advice you warrant that you are resident in the United Kingdom. No liability or duty of care is accepted to persons resident outside the United Kingdom.
