Crisis Support 

When to seek urgent help 

Counselling is not a crisis service. If you are feeling unsafe, overwhelmed, or at risk of harming yourself or others, it is important to seek urgent support. 

 

Immediate support options (UK) 

If you are in immediate danger, call 999. 

You may also consider: 

  • Contacting your GP 

  • Accessing NHS urgent mental health services 

  • Calling Samaritans (116 123) for 24/7 support 

If you are unsure where to turn, contacting a trusted person may also help. 

 

If you are already in counselling 

If you are working with a counsellor and feel at risk between sessions, urgent support should be sought rather than waiting for your next appointment.
