Many of us feel like we need someone to talk to. Yet, for some reason, we’re too embarrassed to seek relationship advice from our friends or family. Even speaking to a counselor is out of the question for most. There’s the cost implication that puts many of us off and then, there’s the social stigma that comes with seeing a specialist counselor for advice.
A survey by OnePlusOne, our parent site, found that 43% of adults wouldn’t want anyone to know that they’d seen a counselor. So who can we turn to when we need someone to just listen to us?
The Listening Room gives you the opportunity to offload in a private space. Talk to one of our helpers, who have counseling backgrounds, for up to 15 minutes. Helpers help you explore and understand what is going on in your relationship. This is not a mediation service but we do know that it often helps to talk it through and might help you take the next step.

Listening Room helpers are available to chat on the CoupleConnection Monday to Sunday 9pm-10pm (GMT).
