If you are in crisis

I do not provide an emergency service so please be aware that I am not available outside of office hours and I am often in session with people during office hours so I may not be able to answer your call. I will always try to return your call within 2 working days.

If you are in crisis and need immediate help please contact your GP for an urgent appointment or call 111 for advice. In an emergency (someone’s life is at risk or you do not feel able to keep yourself/others safe) call 999 or attend the nearest Accident and Emergency department. A mental health emergency is just as serious as a physical one. You will not be wasting anyone’s time.  Visit this website for further information https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/nhs-services/mental-health-services/where-to-get-urgent-help-for-mental-health/
