Finding the Right Support for You

Reaching out for help is a big step, and I want to ensure you find the right support. While I offer private counselling, I know it’s not the right fit for everyone.

If you need free support, crisis help, or specialist services, I’ve put together a list of trusted organisations that can help. You’re not alone—there are people ready to listen.

If you’re unsure where to turn, feel free to reach out, I’d be happy to guide you.
