HOW WE CAN HELP

What people say about our service

"I really liked the way the woman dealt with my problems.  She was very calm and did not judge.  She seemed to understand and appeared generally interested and sympathetic with my state.  I like the way you deal with things in a personal and anonymous way, as it is very difficult for me to talk about my ongoing depression, but I never feel pressured to do so or say anything I am not happy revealing."

"It is like a sort of safety blanket to me, as I know that I can always talk to someone who is not connected to anything and will not pre-judge me or the situation I am in.  The time I contacted Samaritans was when I had all my family around me, was in a loving environment and was completely 'safe'.  However, sometimes this can be the most lonely time.  I am just so glad my mother gave me Samaritans number;  otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
