DO YOU FEEL IN CRISIS?
If you need immediate support or feel suicidal - please know, you are not alone and there are people available to help. Please take a look at the following options in the UK and specifically London & Surrey
A range of specialist services are available that may be most suitable for you at this time. The contact information below focuses on 24hr emergency and crisis support, which is a service I am unable to offer.
If you feel you need support in navigating other specialist services in London and Surrey, please do get in contact.
EMERGENCIES - 999
In emergencies (feeling suicidal, feeling like you want to harm yourself or other people): If possible, walk to your nearest A&E department.

NHS MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
If you are currently unable to finance private therapy but understand that support is needed, please take a look at the NHS resources linked to the button below. Alternatively, speak with your GP as they may be able to refer you to a low-cost or a free short-term NHS counselling service (these are usually run by IAPT in the UK).
