Counselling & Support Groups
We are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, and related challenges. Our counselling and support groups offer a safe space where individuals can find understanding, healing, and hope.
Suicide & Mental Health Counselling
At the heart of our counselling services is specialist support for people affected by suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and suicide loss. Our trained therapists provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where clients can speak honestly and receive care that meets them where they are.
Evidence-Based Approaches We Use
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Identifies and reshapes negative thought patterns linked to emotional distress and suicidal thinking.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Builds emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Trauma-Informed Care
Recognises the impact of past trauma and creates a safe, empowering therapeutic environment.
Somatic Experiencing
A body-centred approach that helps clients release stored trauma by tracking physical sensations, supporting nervous system regulation and healing.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
Uses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge and impact.
Healing Happens in Community
Sometimes the most powerful support comes not from a professional, but from someone who has lived through the same pain. Our peer support groups bring together people with shared experiences in a confidential, facilitated space where no one has to explain themselves.
Find the Right Group for You
Our peer-led groups are tailored to specific experiences so you can connect with others who truly understand what you are going through.

We know it takes courage to come to a group.
You won't have to talk if you don't want to — many people don't, particularly the first time. You don't have to come again, and you don't even have to stay for the whole session if you decide it's not for you. But most people return after their first meeting and, over time, find the confidence to speak about themselves — and eventually to offer support to others. If you come and decide it's not the right moment, you are always welcome to return when you feel ready.
Benefits of Joining a Support Group
Our peer-led groups provide a sense of belonging and shared understanding that is difficult to find elsewhere.
Safety
Participants tell us they feel safe in the group. They are free to express themselves with others who are also grieving as a result of suicide.
Coping
We support each other to cope with the pain, hurt, and loss of a loved one. Everyone who has taken part has said they would recommend the group to others.
Respect
Participants sense the respect as they share their grief. Even when sharing things they may never have said out loud before, the atmosphere is non-judgmental and supportive.
Understanding
People grieving a suicide loss experience loneliness, rejection, guilt, and shame. The group provides an environment of understanding, even when family and friends cannot.
