Having worked as a counsellor in Luxembourg for the last four years, Sharon Mills knows only too well that Christmas is one of the hardest times of the year for her clients.

“The general themes this time of year are often work pressures but also relationships is a huge one and depression,” she told wort.lu/en, adding “Being away from families is part of this issue. When you're away from your family you don't have the strong depth of support network.”
