Dear Queenie,
It’s all very well for you to advise someone to get professional counselling, but how do you find a counsellor on this small island? And if you do find someone, how do you know how well qualified they are?—Need to know
Dear Need to know,
You can ask your family doctor to refer you to a counsellor. Or the Women’s Desk (Hope Estate Road #4, tel. 542-7940), Safe Haven (tel. 9277 or hotline 9333) or your clergyperson can recommend someone.
And if you are not comfortable with the first counsellor you consult, do not be afraid to look for someone who suits you better.
