It’s perfectly okay if you’re not quite ready to reach out for counselling yet—taking that step can feel significant. If you’re visiting this page, you’re likely facing some challenges, so I’ve put together a few resources that might offer you some additional support and information.

Finding the Right Counsellor

If you feel that I might not be the right fit for you, you can find other qualified counsellors through the Counselling Directory. It’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with and who meets your specific needs.

Support for Children and Young People

For support specifically aimed at children and young people, Young Minds is a valuable mental health charity that provides help and information for young people and their families.

General Mental Health Information

Both Mind and the NHS offer a wealth of information about mental health issues and how to get support. Mind also provides a comprehensive list of helplines for help and guidance here.

Urgent Help

The NHS has information if you or someone you know needs urgent help for mental health here.

The Samaritans are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Call 116 123 or go to the website for other ways to contact them.

Remember, seeking help is a courageous and positive step. These resources are here to provide support and guidance as you navigate your way forward.
