For people in crisis, we can usually offer appointments within a day or two. Please do not be afraid to contact us and ask. Do be aware, though, that we usually check our emails only during office hours, and that we usually switch our phone off at night.

If you need help urgently during the night, or if you think that you might harm or kill yourself within the next few hours, please phone the Samaritans. They will always have someone available to talk to you, and will probably be of more immediate help to you than us.
