Contact us
for free and anonymous advice
As part of the
research project into this
web site, we would like to
offer you a
free and anonymous email advice service on psychosexual issues
and relationships. If you would like
more information on anything about sexuality
and relationships please email us. Choose
which of the authors you would like to
approach directly:
anna@sex-and-relationships.com
(female)
or
rod@sex-and-relationships.com
(male)
How to use our advice
service:
-
We assume
that all names and email address you are
writing from are completely anonymous and
not connected to your real name or contact
details. Please set up a new email
address at Yahoo or Hotmail if you want the
assurance of complete anonymity.
This is important, because any data which is not encrypted can be read
while in transit on the internet.
Please protect your privacy by not including
any details (name, address, work email
address), which can identify you when you
write to us.
-
We will save
your query and our answers to
you for further reference and to be included
in our research project (see below).
However, the email address which you wrote
to us from stays separate from this data.
Your email address only stays on our web
email server for 1 month before being
deleted.
-
Give us 3 - 4 days to reply
to you.
-
If you
haven't heard from us within 1 week:
Please assume our reply to you has got lost!
Currently, we are answering all queries
which people send to us. However, from our
follow up survey it appears that some of our
replies do not arrive. Firstly, please check
your spam filter. Secondly, please check
my blog,
I may be on holiday. Thirdly, assume we have
replied, but our email got lost. PLEASE
WRITE TO US AGAIN AND LET US KNOW!
I spend up to 45 minutes answering
individual emails, the last thing I would
want is for it not to arrive in your mail
box!
-
Please write some words
about this service into your emails subject
field, e.g. "Hi Anna...". As you can
imagine leaving an email address on a web
site means we get loads and loads and LOADS
of spam and that way it's easier for us to
spot your email.
-
This email
advice service is part of a PhD research
project at Manchester University, UK. We are
collecting information about the use of this
web site for information on psychosexual and
relationship issues to develop an online sexual health service called
sex-and-relationships.com. The data you
contribute by using this service will
be used in the research on this site. Any data
we collect will be treated as confidential
and is anonymous. The collected data will be
used for this purpose only and will not be
disclosed to any third party. You do not have
to allow us to use your data and if this is
the case, please let us know in your email.
-
The email
advice service is a way for us to develop
text for pages for the web site according to
the real needs of our visitors. We may
use our answers to you as the basis for a
page we write for the project.
However, we will never publish your query to
us on our web site.
-
As part of the research
project we would like to evaluate the
quality of our email advice service. To
do that we will send you an email with a
link to a confidential survey 1-2 weeks
after we have replied to your email. We
would be grateful if you could help us
improve our service by following the link
and completing the follow up questionnaire.
-
Both of us have had
extensive training in psychotherapy. Anna is
a qualified psychotherapist running a
private practice, teaching and supervising.
Rod has completed his training, but has
then veered off into online work and has
been doing that ever since. We both hope to
give you advice and information which is
accurate and of high quality. However, we
take no responsibility for how you might
apply the information we offer.
Additionally, we are not medical doctors nor
do we know everything, so please use common sense
when using information from this web site
and advice service. Please look at our
disclaimer before using the service.
