In Crisis Now or Feeling Suicidal?

In Crisis Now?

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way.

Please know that I am not able to provide emergency or crisis support, as I do not offer a 24-hour or on-call service. While I may be able to offer additional support to existing clients during difficult times, this is subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

If you're in immediate distress or need urgent support, please don’t wait — there are people available to help you right now:

If You're Feeling Suicidal

It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed or hopeless at times — and it can feel like you have no way out. These thoughts, however intense, can pass, especially when you have space, support, and time to explore other options.

You don't have to go through this alone. Please, talk to someone today. Start with the Samaritans, who are trained to listen, never judge, and help you see things more clearly. Your life matters.

If you'd like to explore counselling once things feel a little more settled, I’d be glad to support you. In the meantime, please take care of yourself and reach out to the organisations above — help is out there.
