Ask me a question
You can ask me about anything you want, there's nothing too big or small.
Ask Sam
Something on your mind? Or need some support?
Anyone can write in with their problem. I respond to a few letters each week. You can also read my advice to people who have similar problems to you.
What you need to know:
- Sam reads every letter, but can only respond to a few each week
- Sam's replies are public, never private, so others can read them
- Sam will remove personal info from your letter to keep it anonymous
- if yours is chosen, you'll see it under one of the topics below
- if you need support now or want to talk privately, contact a counsellor for free on 0800 1111.

Message from Sam
You can write to me about anything and I read every single letter, but I choose just a few to answer on my page each week. I’m sorry if I don’t answer your letter but I always try and write my response to help anyone with a similar problem, so there is probably a letter that I’ve answered before which might help. If you definitely want a response you can always talk to one of our counsellors and they will always be there.
