​If you're in crisis right now
This page isn't something I ever want you to need — but if you're here, I'm glad you're looking for help. Please know that support is available right now, even outside of our sessions.
If you're in immediate danger
Please call 999 immediately. Emergency services will get you the right help. You can also go to your nearest A&E.
​
If you need urgent mental health support
The Samaritans are available 24 hours a day, every day — call 116 123 any time, for any reason. You don't have to be in crisis to call — they're there for anyone who needs someone to talk to.
​
If you're in Scotland, you can access urgent mental health support through NHS 24. If you're in England, you can find your local crisis line here.
​
Your GP can also help — even if you're not registered with a practice, surgeries can offer urgent appointments.
​
If you need a safe place
If you're in an unsafe environment, crisis houses and shelters can provide short-term safety and support. Mind has a helpful overview of what's available, or you can contact your local council or police for advice.

About my practice
My practice is appointment-based and I'm not able to offer crisis or out-of-hours support. Occasionally a same-day appointment is possible, but I can't guarantee one. If you're in crisis, please use the resources above — they exist for exactly this moment.
​
Once you're safe and feeling more stable, we can work through what's been happening together — the triggers, the thoughts, the feelings — and focus on making things more manageable going forward.

Not yet in therapy?
If you're not currently working with a therapist and would like to start, I'd be glad to hear from you.
