If You’re in Crisis

While my counselling work focuses on ongoing support and reflection, I’m not able to offer crisis counselling or emergency care. If you're feeling overwhelmed or in urgent need of support, there are services specifically set up to help you through those moments — you don’t have to face them alone.

Below are some local and national services available to anyone in the Kirklees and Calderdale area, offering immediate emotional support and crisis care:

In An Emergency:

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please call 999 or visit your nearest A&E department.
