so i joined kooth today and was wondering if the sessions are similar to childline or any other mental health website. is it meant to be a counselling website or a listening and support service? there is a difference between the two by the way.

    it can take long time you can have a named worker who you chat to every week at same time. you have 3 assessments chat to see if a named worker is helpful. it can take long time though hope you get through. <3
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    they chose time suitable for you but you would have to discuss with them.
