Quick question.
I live in London, England.
Can I get any counselling linked with MB here?
Thanks,

B-w-v - I reckon not, but how about phone counselling with Mr Harley. I haven't done it but everyone raves about the guy!

Incidentally, I'm a Londoner - Pimlico! TT

Hardly, I was born in the council estate between Chelsea Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge. I know Peckham quite well - I watch only Fools and Horses!

Calling MB can work wonders, though it is expensive.

FWIW, this uk site also has a lot of MC info:

In particular, note Retrouvaille is now availabe in the uk. I highly recommend it.

Thanks.
Yeah TT there are loads of three wheeler vans knocking around Peckham.
Aphelion, I'll look up retrouvaille on the web. Who are they?
My WH is paying 50 quid an hour for counselling. Is this about right?

I'm English too.

Relate are useless non-pro marriage mediators IME( though Top Rope rates them)

I can recommend <a href="www.marrigecare.org.uk" target="_blank"> Marriagecare</a> - its a catholic pro-marriage service, but is not evangelical. Good stuff.

RE: Phone Counseling with the Harley's:
I know we have some very inexpensive per minute phone rates available online for calls to the UK. I imagine you have something similar available from there to here. Then you would just have the counseling fee. The exchange rate is in your favor, isn't it. $185USD = $103.53GBP

You can also email Joyce Harley (Dr.Willard Harley's wife) and maybe followup with a call to their radio program. 10AM to 1PM CST. You can listen online. Click in the upper right corner of the site. ((some days they play reruns)

Thank you so much.
The Relate counsellor has asked that we both go together next week, so we will.
I LOVE MB it is so positive, so true and so insightful.
Here's hoping.
Kate.
