ILONA:

What about now, do you get any help or support?

ALEX:

Yeah. I see Mike for assist once every four weeks in my Reigate. I talk over any problems, so I use my NHS mental now. I've obviously got the Guilford Group transition going I was just telling you about. I go to that every two weeks and it's quite a big group, so I've met quite a lot of people there.

ILONA:

And what are the areas of your life where you feel you need to seek help from Mike or from the group?

ALEX:

It's normally like if, you know, if I've had an argument or something with my mum. I mean, they don't happen as often as they did, but you know, we're all human. Arguments are going to happen inevitably.

ILONA:

What do you find particularly helpful in the support that you get?

ALEX:

I think one thing with like Mike is, you know, I can speak to someone who's not a part of the situation. And I think having someone that's neutral just helps. You know, someone who's not directly involved with the situation.
