Self description

Male , 50

I am a single man, recently moved back to the UK from Australia. I'm not going tpo hide the fact that I have been in prison, which is where I learned many of my mentoring skills. I believe that I am in a position as a result of this, to offer life changing advice to ex prisoners, parolees, etc, who are struggling to find their feet after release.

I'm not much of a talker, more of a listener, so use me to get all that excess baggage you are carrying off of your mind. I pride myself in my confidentiality and will only breach this with your consent.

Life experiences

Ex Offenders

If you fit into this category, and want to talk about what's doing your head in, contact me

Families of Offenders

I know what it's like on the inside. I know how guys in prisopn suffer seeing and then leaving their families. If you would like to unload, I'm ready to listen and do what I can to help

Expecting your family member home from prison

If it's not bad enough having a family member in prison, It can sometimes be just as hard having them come home again. If they have been away for a long time, there will be integration needs you may need halp with.

Why mentor on horsesmouth?

Being an ex prisoner, I KNOW what its like on the inside, Being isolated, losing family and friends. I also know what its like to return to society, which in a lot of cases has changed dramatically. Having someone independent and anonymous to speak to helped me, and now, I want my turn to do this for others. Knowing how hard life can be, how cruel society can be, how isolated YOU can feel, puts me in a position to offer valued advice, or just an ear to listen.

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.

I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.

well what a geat website! in all honestly, i basically typed in "agony aunts online" while on a down day just expecting some upbeat optimism on the computer, and came across this site. it is so much better than just reading a passage on a website, to actually talk to REAL people for honest advice and listening about particular subjects rather than a general overview.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who replied to one of my recent shout outs about forgiving - every message was useful and some very helpful indeed! It really feels good to know other people understand how i've been feeling, and to know there are people not far from me to help! Thanks so much, and everyone please don't hesitate to get in touch if I can help anyone with any problem you may be having xxx
