Whatever you're going through, a Samaritan will face it with you.
Call us anytime, day or night National Freecall 116 123.
We listen carefully creating a confidential, non judgemental environment that guides people to find the solution to their problems themselves.
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 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
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 would always want to help you to explore your feelings about your situation and to help you make the decisions that are right for you. We will ask you questions when talking to you to help you do this, and to make sure we understand what you are telling us.
116 123 is a National number. You will be put through to the next available volunteer from any one of our UK branches.
We have no idea of your number, who you are or whereabouts you are ringing from.
The number 116 123 is free to call from both landlines and mobiles, including pay-as-you-go mobiles.
Absolutely. If you are in any sort of distress we are there to listen.
