Crisis support

If you are in immediate danger, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E.
Do not wait. You are not overreacting.

Please note Counselling Camp is not a crisis service and cannot provide emergency support. If you are struggling to keep yourself safe right now, please contact one of the organisations listed on this page — they are free, confidential, and available around the clock.

If you are ready to begin regular counselling, book a free consultation here.
