Have you ever had a troubling problem that has left you wondering where to turn for help?

Eve Hobsbawm is a life adviser. She offers advice to people struggling with all kinds of problems, from relationship difficulties to what to cook for dinner.

She does this through a website inviting people to email her with their problems. There ' s nothing unusual about that, except for the fact that Eve is only eight years old.
