Des's Support Service

"As someone who has worked for over 25 years keeping the populace safe in their beds, often in secrecy and under the cover of darkness, having worked in an environment where I was discriminated against and victimised, I know what the pressures of living in todays world can have on an individual".

We all have problems and coping with them isn't easy in todays high pressure world. This is were Des's Support Service can be of assistance. Just a few minutes counselling from the Irish master will have you frantically searching for the 'phone book and the Samaritans phone number, not for yourself, but for Des.

Yes, you think you have problems, but after a few minutes with Des, they fade into insignificance and you feel so much better.

"I was driving with Des and another mate to a football match. It was just after my marriage broke up. He listened for about half an hour and then he said, and I remember it so well,
'Shut the f*@! up or I'll drive us into a brick wall'.
I can laugh about it now"
