Resources
I offer counselling services on an agreed basis with my clients. I am not an on-call/crisis/emergency contact service.
If you find that you are in need of immediate support now or outside of your sessions, please consider contacting one of the resources below.

As a previous SHOUT volunteer I dedicated over 200 hours to support texters in crisis.
