Suitability

When Telephone Counselling is not appropriate

Telephone Counselling is NOT suitable for people dealing with immediate life threatening circumstances or crisis.

If you are you experiencing a crisis right now

  • Are contemplating suicide or homicide
  • Are emotionally at the end of your rope
  • Or you don't know what to do

Then at least take one of these steps now:

CALL YOUR LOCAL CRISIS LINE. MOST TOWNS HAVE A 24 HOUR CRISIS LINE SUCH AS SAMARITANS (0845 7909090) THE PHONE NUMBER WILL BE LISTED IN THE TELEPHONE BOOK NEAR THE FRONT

CALL A TRUSTED FRIEND OR RELATIVE. ASK THEM TO TALK TO YOU OR COME OVER RIGHT AWAY.

Call a local counselling service to arrange a face-to-face appointment as soon as possible.
