Online therapy is a remote service and is not suitable for individuals who are at risk to themselves, pose a risk to others, or are actively experiencing suicidal thoughts.

Given the level of risk you have indicated, it is essential that you receive therapy from someone who is more local to you and can work in collaboration with a local Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT). This will ensure that you have the appropriate support network in place. If you are currently feeling at risk to yourself or others, we strongly urge you to seek help immediately.

There are several services available to provide the assistance you need:

Going to A&E (999)

If your life is at risk or you are intending to cause harm to yourself or others, you need an emergency service.

A&E departments are open 24 hours a day and anyone can visit them free of charge.

Not all hospitals have A&E departments – to find one near you, you can:

Phone NHS 111 in England

Emergency GP appointments

Your local GP surgery can offer you an appointment quickly if you need urgent support & you do not already need to be registered as a patient.
