Frequently asked
Things people wonder first.
What happens when I call?
A trained Mental Health Responder picks up. They'll listen, without judgement, and help you think about what might help next. No script, no clock.
I'm not in crisis — can I still call?
Absolutely. You don't have to be at rock bottom to deserve support. A chat is reason enough.
Can I just turn up at The Centre?
Yes. No appointment, no referral. Mon–Fri, 9–4, 10b Abbey Walk, Selby.
Do you offer counselling?
We're not a clinical service, but we can listen, signpost and walk alongside you while you wait for NHS support.
