Use emergency services for immediate risk
If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services now. If you are in the United States or Canada, call or text 988 for suicide and crisis support. If you are elsewhere, use your local emergency number, nearest hospital emergency department, or local crisis line.
Do not wait for a WhatsApp or email reply
Booking requests, WhatsApp messages, email, and website contact are not crisis care. They may not be read immediately and cannot replace emergency assessment, local protection, or urgent medical support.
When to seek urgent help
- Immediate risk of suicide, self-harm, or harm to another person.
- Feeling unable to stay safe until a planned appointment.
- Severe confusion, intoxication, withdrawal, psychosis, or medical instability.
- Violence, abuse, coercive control, or unsafe living conditions.
After safety is secured
Once immediate safety is handled, therapy can help process what happened and plan ongoing support.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the WhatsApp booking message in a crisis?
No. Use emergency services or a crisis line first when there is immediate danger.
Can therapy continue after a crisis?
Often yes, but only after urgent safety and appropriate local care are addressed.
