Welcome to TalkTime.
Being a former sufferer if severe anxiety, depression, alcoholism and bad life choices. My journey began with the name Love Letters where I would be given details of someone who is going through a hard time. I would then hand write a personalised letter to them, giving any advice they may need to hear to brighten their day and hopefully, life!

I used to talk to Bertie when he had Love Letters which was great, only problem was waiting for the postman to come every day! Once he told me he was starting phone calls, I wanted to book right away. Bertie is really lovely to talk to, he listens to everything I need to talk about. I told him about my alcoholism and how its affected my overall health. He told me that alcoholism weakens your immune system and recommended a vitamin called B-2 to take during my recovery and it really helped with keeping my strength up. As of course, he doesn't prescribe medication. I can't recommend this guy enough, I'll be back next week Bertie xo More...
What do you love most about your job?
Really, ever since I was a young lad in high school I was bullied every day if my school life and saw others being bullied also. Since then I made it my life goal to improve the lives of others.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I originally begun as a charity i created and ran alone called LoveLetters that got very popular.
I would be told about someone going through difficult times, given there address and I would then hand write letters to the person, talking to them and assuring them they're not alone. At which point we would become 'PenPals' and write back and fourth discussing problems and solutions.
Why should our clients choose you?
I personally think, still only being 28 it may be good for someone to speak to me being around their age. I don't like to have just a 'client' I like them to see me as a friend, a shoulder to cry on, and ill support im the best way I can.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I provide mt services by email and telephone calls. I will discuss with the client how often they would like to talk and for how long.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
As previously mentioned, I prefer to keep to telephone calls, emails or letters. During these dark, unsure and hard times I think it unsuitable, even distanced, to be around people when the same work can be done via your personal computer or telephone.
I myself have got the first dose of the vaccine.
Advice
Based on what we discuss, I will get advice to the best of my ability to try improve your life.
Friendship/Client
I prefer to make a connection with my clients. I don't like to see people as a 'patient' as it sounds very negative. I want people to be able to confine in me and open up. Not to sit and think 'Oh goodness, this guy is a shrink" as this is one thing I'm not, consider me your friend.
