Urgent Support

If you need help right now

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or require immediate support, please be aware that Clearspace Counselling is not a crisis or emergency service. I do not offer support outside of scheduled counselling sessions, and emails or voicemail messages are not monitored continuously.

Crisis Support

If you are concerned about your immediate safety, or the safety of someone else, please contact the appropriate emergency or crisis support services listed below.

The organisations listed on this page are independent services. Clearspace Counselling is not affiliated with, nor responsible for, the content or services they provide.

Emergency Services

NHS 111

Samaritans

If there is an immediate risk to life or someone’s safety, call 999 and ask for the appropriate emergency service.

If you need urgent mental health support but it is not an emergency, contact NHS 111. In England, you can select the mental health option where available to speak with someone who can advise you and direct you to local support.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, distressed or having thoughts of suicide, you can contact Samaritans. Free, confidential support, 24 hours a day.

SHOUT

Your GP

If you would prefer to text rather than speak on the phone, text SHOUT. Free, confidential text support, available 24 hours a day.

If you’re struggling with your mental health but are not in immediate danger, contact your GP as soon as possible. Your GP can discuss treatment options and refer you to appropriate local mental health services where necessary.

When Should I Seek Support?

Please seek urgent support if:

  • You feel unable to keep yourself safe.

  • You are having thoughts of ending your life and believe you may act on them.

  • You are at immediate risk of harm from another person.

  • You are concerned about the immediate safety of a child or vulnerable adult.

  • You are experiencing a mental health crisis and cannot wait until your next counselling appointment.

Seeking support is a sign of strength. If you’re reading this because things feel particularly difficult right now, please remember that help is available. You don’t have to face it alone.
