Ask Dave

I'm Dave Brookes, do you have a problem that is playing on your mind? Lover not loving as much as they used to? Or maybe your family getting you down?

I present the Real Late Night Phone in show for Real Radio. We like to think of the programme as your programme. We talk about issues that are on your mind, what issues you're facing, and what help and advice you may need to tackle them. We talk about real issues that affect us in our daily lives. In 1999, I lost my parents just a couple of months apart, little did I realise at the time how my own personal agony would, seven years on, help listeners to my radio show now!

I believe a problem shared is a problem halved; share your problems with me and maybe I can help you sort things out and help put things in order. Then maybe in the process we can help someone else who's not able to write in.

I can't answer medical problems but anything else you feel I might be able to help you with, email me or send a letter to me. Together we can make things alright.

Dave Brookes presents the Real Live Phone in on Real Radio from Monday to Thursday: 7:00 PM - 12:00 AM.
