I've tried to keep the rules to a minimum and as the forum grows these may also develop so please check on these periodically.

Counselling Forum Rules
• Be nice to each other - treat eachother as you'd want to be treated

• We do NOT provide counselling - this is a place to be heard and supported by peers

Counselling Forum Guidelines
• Keep the focus of this forum to peer to peer support - even though there may be trained or training counsellors active on the forum take any advice/feedback with a pinch of salt and use your own judgement

• This forum is not a substitute for professional help

• Keep confidentiality in mind when posting on forum - e.g. when choosing your username on the forum

• If you arrange to meet a counsellor through this forum please verify the counsellor's credentials.

• If you need support please post on the forum as opposed to sending private messages - this means you have more chance of being heard by more members and doesn't place responsibility with one member who may not be online or emotionally available themselves

Please do not hesitate to contact me [Jenny] should you have any problems. I look forward to seeing you around the forum.
