Crisis & Emergency

As a private practitioner I am unable to provide an emergency or crisis service. This means that I am unable to provide immediate support to clients outside of business hours.

If you (or someone you know) is experiencing a mental health crisis or feeling unsafe, please contact any of the following services for assistance:

• If it is an emergency, call 000 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department

• Call NSW Mental Health Line on 1800 011 511 to be connected to your local Mental Health Crisis Team

• Contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.
