Surge in calls to counsellors to help salvage marriages

MARRIAGE counsellors have been inundated with calls from warring couples who are desperate to salvage their relationships after a fraught Christmas.

Demand for counselling sessions at Dublin’s AIM Family Services has never been as high in its 30-year history.
