Advice and helplines

We offer help and advice over the telephone and online, ranging from emotional support to practical support and signposting to other services that can help you.

When you call one of our lines or open our web chat, our team will always listen to you, treat you with respect, and believe you. 

If you aren’t sure what type of support you would benefit from accessing, then our Advice Line is a good place to start.

Thank you so much. If I hadn’t made that call to you, I’d probably still be there. I’m free now.
