AT each other’s throats by day, trouble brewing between the sheets by night? Relationship struggles and parenting pressures getting too much?
We are here to help. The Sun’s trusted Dear Deidre team is today launching a new, FREE counselling service, which will allow readers to live chat with our experts – helping you with your problems at no cost.

For almost 50 years our iconic agony aunts have supported readers through life’s ups and downs, rescuing marriages and injecting a bit of spice back into sex lives the nation over.
And while our vital daily column will continue in your favourite paper, we are excited to give readers instant access to help when they need it most.
So whatever you’re facing, however big or seemingly small it feels, the team headed up by agony aunt Sally Land, will offer you the guidance you need to navigate everything life throws at us.
“Life is moving so fast these days, we are so excited to be able to offer readers this new service, giving instant access to support from our team of trained counsellors,” says Sally.
Live Chat and Contact Dear Deidre
Live Chat with one of our trained counsellors Monday to Thursday from 1pm to 4pm.
“Whether it’s a pressing dilemma, a nagging concern or you simply need a fresh perspective, get in touch – my team treats everyone with the dignity, care and respect they deserve.”
“We already provide personalised advice to every reader that contacts us, responding quickly and often staying in contact with people for weeks or months when ongoing support is needed, “ says Sally.
“Now, we can bring that wealth of expertise and support to readers in real time.
“It’s free, and we want to help as many people as we can.”
