Supporting You Through Suicidal Thoughts

You’re Not Alone – Here’s How We Work Together

If you’re experiencing suicidal thoughts, I want you to know: your feelings matter, and your safety is my priority. This page explains how we’ll approach these conversations, so you know exactly what to expect.

My Approach (Aligned with NICE Guidelines NG225)

I follow the latest evidence-based practices, which means:
No "risk categories" – I won’t label you as "low" or "high risk." These labels aren’t helpful—your experience is unique.
Collaborative safety planning – Together, we’ll explore what helps you feel safer.
Your autonomy comes first – You’re in control of your decisions unless there’s an immediate danger we can’t manage otherwise.
