Welcome to Agony Advice, the Web's fastest and most professional agony aunt service.
Who do you turn to for advice? A few of us are lucky to know, as friends or family, people who can be relied upon to give considered, unbiased opinion drawn from years of experience and tempered with an analytical mind and a compassionate manner. The truth is, however, that our friends and family are often the WORST people to ask for advice. Why? Because they so often have our best interests at heart, they can't help but become passionate and swayed by their emotion when trying to help us. They are emotionally involved, and often are too close to the problem to be able to 'see the forest for the trees'.
Sometimes, too, those friends or work colleagues you turn to for advice can have ulterior motives, and family members can recommend a course of action that risks the least impact for themselves or the rest of the family. So who else can you turn to?
Do you ever read those newspapers and magazines with their agony aunt pages? Did you know that the vast majority of those writing in never even receive a reply? And those that do sometimes have to wait up to a month before their problems are addressed? That's because of limited print space, something you don't need to worry about - because we won't be printing your personal reply. We reply within 24 hours - GUARANTEED - because we recognise that your problems often can't wait for a more than a few hours, let alone a week or even a month!
What's more, because we aren't personally connected with you, our advice is given honestly and objectively, with none of the 'baggage' that comes with familiarity. We won't take sides, make religious claims, dictate ethics or stake a claim to the moral high ground. Our sole belief is that we should give you an objective, honest appraisal of your situation together with options to move forward. We want to inspire confidence in you, to help you see what you can do to help yourself.
If you're ready to talk, we're ready to listen.
But why is this going to cost money?
Why do we charge for our advice, when so many other sites don't? That's simple. Sites which don't charge have very poor response rates, because a) they are almost all 'one-man bands', not businesses, and b) they have almost nothing to gain by replying. If (for example) you ran an advice site, using a home PC, as the sole aunt, and one hundred people a day were asking for your help, could you reply to them all, with carefully considered answers? If you think so, then how long would your motivation remain, in the knowledge that you wouldn't receive a penny for your efforts to help? We couldn't do it, and we bet even the biggest humanitarian couldn't afford to unless they a) were a millionaire, and b) never needed to sleep.
We know that life's problems can't wait for long before we need to address them. Some can't wait at all, not just because the urgency of the situation demands a fast decision, but because sometimes the pyschological pressure can range from the deeply irritating all the way to an unbearable mental anguish. That's why we offer the guarantee of 24 hours.
To do that we need to have our team on standby 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Christmas and New Year included. Having a team means that we have a wide breadth of experience and knowledge and can use both male and female viewpoints. It also means we can answer the high volume of questions we get, quickly and carefully. But it also means we have to recompense them for their time, including working Sundays and national holidays.
The upside for you by paying us is that a contract is created, in that we are obligated to provide you with a service. And we promise to provide that service within 24 hours. See our Guarantee Page for details on how we provide you with an unrivalled service.
Totally Confidential! We never see any of your bank details and your home address is not passed to us! All personal details during the financial transaction are handled through a SECURE SERVER at Paypal - and you don't even need an account with them; just pay with your credit or debit card!

Benefits of Agony Advice over 'free advice' sites:
- 'Free advice' is never free! You pay for it with pop-up ads, unrelated banners, cheaply designed sites that are hard to navigate and, worst of all, spam email. Well, they have to make their site pay somehow, eh? We DON'T do any of that.
- We guarantee a response. Most 'free advice' sites will only respond to a small fraction of the queries they receive. They have no reason or need to reply - what's in it for them? We ALWAYS reply - backed with a money-back guarantee - because otherwise, we'd soon go out of business!
- If you do get a response by email, it normally comes several days later, is often too short to reveal any insight and is written hastily and without care.
- Any response will often try to sell you something. Unsolicited follow-up emails may also be sales-driven or from spammers.
- Most 'free advice' sites publish your problems and their responses - do you really want the whole world to potentially know your personal life? We are totally discreet and confidential, working by private email only.
- 'Free advice' sites are here today, gone tomorrow. Running on a shoe string, they use free webhosts, who sometimes terminate member sites to free up more space and regularly go out of business themselves.
- 'Free advice' sites have no transparency or legitimacy. Using free hosting means that no-one knows who they are. We are a registered business with business bank and merchant accounts - we won't sell your personal details to scammers and spammers before disappearing.

Benefits of Agony Advice over other 'paid advice' sites
- Guaranteed response within 24 hours. Others may offer 48 or even a 72 hour service, without a guarantee.
- Even those who do offer a 24 hour service, don't guarantee it! We do - or we give you money back! See our Terms and Conditions for details.
- We are business team of intelligent individuals with a wide breadth of education, training, skills and experience, not a one-man band doing this as a hobby, unlike most of our competitors.
- We aren't a team of bleeding hearts or religious quacks either - we give objective, clear advice without prejudice or bias.
- Our professionally-designed site has been optimised with the visitor in mind, and isn't just a long list of dull pages full of spelling errors and poor grammar. We offer a highly professional service.
- We won't send you spam or unsolicited follow-up emails trying to get you to buy this-or-that. We know that you pay us for a service, not to send you rubbish you didn't ask for.
- Our prices are highly competitive, and we believe we are the only site to offer a minimum word count for our replies, so you know what you are getting for your money.
- We offer a range of payment options to suit your pocket and the complexity of your problem.
- Secure payments by Paypal and dedicated business hosting means your personal and financial details are safe with us.
