You can phone me or email me and we can have a chat about how I can help. I don't need to know lots of details about your issue. Just tell me what it is that you want and I will tell you what I can do!
On the other hand some people like to tell me about how their issue affects their life and that's fine too. It's often much easier to talk to someone new who won't judge or criticise. If you're worried about telling me something that might shock me or make me think you're mad, then don't.....I've worked in psychiatry for a long time!!
There's nothing you can't tell me that I haven't heard before and I can probably tell you a few stories that will make you realise how normal you are!
Of course everything you tell me is totally confidential and I don't keep any notes.
