Samaritans - a listening helpline

You can contact the Samaritans at any time of the day or night. They are a team of people trained to listen and talk (but not offer counselling) to people who are going through difficult times.

'People talk to us anytime they like, in their own way, and off the record - about whatever’s getting to them. You don't have to be suicidal. People talk to us for as long as they like, as many times as they like. We don't rush, interrupt or push anyone out of the door. We let people lead the conversation at their own pace. There's no waiting lists, and no assessments' - Samaritans
