What happens when you call us?

We offer a safe place for you to talk any time you like, in your own way – about whatever’s getting to you.

We won’t judge you or tell you what to do, we’ll listen to you.

A volunteer will answer

If you phone us, we will answer with something like “Samaritans, can I help you?”

You talk, we listen

We listen to you and help you talk through your concerns, worries and troubles.

We give you space to be yourself

We’ll focus on your thoughts and feelings, and may ask questions to help you explore how you feel

We won’t tell you what you should do

We won’t make decisions for you, our advice or opinions are not important for the call.
