I need help immediately where should I contact?

Here are some crisis and support contacts for urgent situations, as Supportive Counselling is not a crisis service.

Are you or someone else in immediate danger?

If there has been a serious injury, someone is feeling suicidal, or an overdose has occurred, or if you feel unable to ensure safety for yourself or someone else, please call 999 immediately.
