You're Not Alone – Help Is Available

Manchester Counselling is not a crisis service and cannot provide immediate support for suicidal feelings. However, we want to make sure you get the help you need right now.

If you're feeling suicidal, please know that support is available right now. You deserve help, and there are people ready to listen without judgment.

In Immediate Danger

Call 999 if you or someone else is in immediate danger or has seriously harmed themselves.

Reaching out for help takes courage. Whatever you're going through, you don't have to face it alone. These services are here for you – please use them.

Session Frequency

Session Frequency

Weekly sessions are the foundation of effective therapy, helping to build trust and maintain momentum. Our therapists work on a weekly basis as this is recognised as the optimal approach for progress. Please expect weekly sessions as standard, though some flexibility may be discussed with your therapist once you've begun.
