We are not a crisis or emergency service. We can not be contacted out of hours and we can not provide the sort of support required for crisis care.

If you are in crisis:

1. Contact the Samaritans HERE
2. Contact your family and support network
3. Contact your GP
4. Please do consider using our service once the rest of these are done

• Emergency NHS Lothians service HERE

There are also often helplines associated with your employment (EAP Schemes) or Student Counselling Services through your University / Student Union

Other helplines exist online, we are unable to recommend or vouch for any in particular

• Domestic Violence Helpline HERE
• Immediate support by text message from “SHOUT” HERE

If we have to refer you from our service because of a breech in terms or conditions, payment terms, or because the service is no longer suitable for you then:
