Self Harm

Experiencing thoughts of self-harm can be a frightening and isolating experience. Looking for help is the first step, and just by being on this page, you are already taking steps towards hope and recovery. We encourage you to tell someone how you’re feeling; this will help to ensure you get the support you deserve.
There are some resources available in the Self-Harm and Suicidal Feelings of this site, which you may find helpful. Please note that this isn’t immediate support, so if you feel you need support urgently, please call NHS 111.
Harmless is a service that provides support for people who self-harm or are having thoughts of suicide, and their friends and family too. You can self-refer via their website.
Self referral
It is not possible to start a self referral for this condition because of the complexity you may be experiencing, which requires discussion with your GP.
Contact your GP (between 8am to 6pm) for a GP referral or if you require urgent help please call NHS 111 (option 2) and you can speak to a mental health clinician. Where there is an immediate, serious, and life-threatening emergency, call 999 or go to A&E.
There are some accessible websites available in the self-help resources which you can visit today.
