This is not a crisis service.

Please do not rely on this website, or wait for a session, if any of the following are true:

• You are thinking about ending your life or harming yourself.
• You are in immediate physical danger from another person.
• Someone else is in immediate physical danger.
• You are experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms (e.g., severe disorientation, hallucinations affecting safety, manic episodes).
• You have just experienced a serious medical event (e.g., overdose, severe self-harm).

In any of these situations, please call your local emergency services or go to the nearest hospital. Time matters more than the right specialist.

Sessions are scheduled in advance. There may be hours or a day between you reaching out and being seen — that gap is unsuitable for crisis-level needs.

Crisis lines, hospitals, and emergency services are staffed and trained for the urgency that planned therapy is not designed to handle.

If you have just come through a crisis and are now stable, planned consultation can be exactly the right next step — to make sense of what happened, build new coping, and reduce the chance of recurrence.

In that case, the free 10-minute discovery call is a good starting point. There is no expectation that you arrive ‘put together’.

By using this website and its booking system, you acknowledge that this service is not a substitute for emergency or crisis intervention, and that you understand the resources listed at the top of this page.

Laila Eman, the practice, and this website cannot be held responsible for outcomes resulting from delayed contact with emergency services in situations that required immediate professional intervention.

When in doubt, call a helpline. They will help you decide whether your situation is one for emergency services, a hospital, or something that can be planned for in the days ahead.

If you are unsure whether to book a session or seek emergency support, please choose the helpline first. There is always a session available afterwards.
