As Telford Psychology is not a crisis service, I am unable to meet the needs of people outside of our therapeutic sessions or those who are unknown to me and in need of crisis support. In this instance it is advised that contact is made with the person’s GP surgery who will offer direction to the appropriate services. If you are worried about someone’s immediate safety, please call the police on 101 for advice or 999 in an emergency.

I can also recommend visiting the Mind website for information regarding their listening support service (link below).
