Samaritans

People who’ve used our service say that simply having someone to talk to can be of great help.

It can begin to sort out confused feelings, relieve the pressure, and encourage you to believe that there is a way forward.

We know that life can be unbelievably tough. We don't have a magic wand to make your problems disappear.

But, given the chance, many people are able to find a way through their problems themselves, if there is someone there giving them time and space to talk.

We can help you to explore your options and come to your own decisions about what's best for you. Our support may help you find your own way forward.

We’re always here

We never know when you might want to talk to us. That’s why we’re always open, round the clock.

Confidentiality

We want you to feel safe while talking to us, so you can tell us how you’re really feeling.

You can be yourself

Whoever you are, however you feel, whatever life’s done to you.

We’re trained to listen

As volunteers, not paid professionals, we’re trained to listen to you.
