You can also go to your nearest hospital emergency unit, contact your doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, trusted family member, or ask someone nearby to stay with you until help arrives.
WhatsApp and message communication
WhatsApp, SMS, email, and social media messages are not monitored 24/7 and should not be used for emergencies.
I may not always be available to respond immediately, especially outside working hours. Messages sent between sessions are for practical communication only, such as appointment arrangements, brief check-ins, or agreed follow-up.
Please do not use WhatsApp, email, or social media to communicate urgent mental health emergencies, suicidal thoughts, threats of self-harm, medical emergencies, or situations where you feel unsafe.
Scope of my services
My work is supportive and complementary. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or manage psychiatric conditions, substance-use disorders, severe trauma responses, psychosis, suicidal crisis, or acute mental health emergencies.
If I believe that your needs fall outside my scope of practice, I may recommend that you seek support from a qualified medical doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, trauma specialist, addiction specialist, emergency service, or other appropriate healthcare professional.
In some cases, I may not be able to continue working with you unless you are also supported by an appropriate healthcare professional.
Safety and confidentiality
Your privacy is important to me. However, confidentiality has limits where there is a serious concern for your safety or the safety of another person.
If you tell me that you may harm yourself, harm someone else, are unable to keep yourself safe, or if I believe there is an immediate risk, I may need to contact your emergency contact, family member, doctor, psychiatrist, crisis service, or emergency services.
This is not done as punishment or rejection. It is done to help protect life and ensure that the correct support is involved.
Client responsibility
By working with me, you understand that you are responsible for seeking emergency help when needed, attending appropriate medical or psychological care where necessary, and informing me if you are currently under psychiatric care, taking psychiatric medication, experiencing suicidal thoughts, struggling with substance abuse, or have recently been hospitalised for mental health reasons.
This helps me understand whether my services are appropriate and whether additional professional support is needed.
Boundaries of support
I care deeply about my clients, but I cannot be your only support system, crisis contact, or emergency responder.
Healthy support requires a wider safety net, which may include family, friends, medical professionals, mental health practitioners, crisis lines, and emergency services.
If you are in crisis, please contact the appropriate emergency or mental health support service immediately.
