Suicidal Thoughts
Dr. Bonnie Wims
Psychologist, UK Chartered Counseling Psychologist
Life can feel hopeless at times and maybe we turn to suicidal thoughts as a way out. Although thinking about suicide is scary to some, it really is a common complaint. Let's talk about how your thoughts may be exploring suicide and begin to get at the root of your feelings. Validation of this intense feeling is step one in moving toward a more hopeful way of living.

Alison Edwards CBT Therapy & Supervision
Psychologist, CBT Therapist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc
I first trained in 2004 in understanding suicide and supporting people who are feeling suicidal, and this has been a speciality area for me since then. I completed accredited training in both Applied Suicide Intervention Training and Mental Health First Aid in 2007. I have 9 years experience of working on a helpline for people who are feeling suicidal, and have been a trainer and mentor for a UK charity in training other helpline workers to support people who are experiencing suicidal thoughts. In a previous job I provided training to Trainee CBT Therapists on assessing suicidality and supporting people who are experiencing suicidal thoughts. I have attended CPD events over the years with the BABCP and BPS on suicide awareness, assessing suicide risk, and supporting people who self-harm. I attended the Suicide Prevention World Conference in September 2022, and CPD events with the British Psychological Society on non-suicidal self-harm in November 2022.

Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
Probably many more people have suicidal thoughts than we generally recognise. For most people, these thoughts are fleeting moments easily dismissed; but for some people, these thoughts become intrusive and the temptation to act upon them increases. My approach is to understand why an individual is experiencing suicidal ideation and to design an individual course of treatment to remove these thoughts.

Shareen Birges
Registered Social Worker, BASS, GDYMH, MSW
In my experience suicidal thoughts are the mind's way of letting us know that we are overwhelmed by our emotional, mental & psychological pain. Supporting people around this issue requires empathy, understanding & compassion. This is important because individuals need to feel able to be open & honest about suicidal ideation & thoughts. As a professional I have worked with countless people around this issue, which often goes hand in hand with depression and/or a trauma background. I feel I have the skill to build the necessary relationship to effect change & to help people who are vulnerable to harm to learn to protect themselves.
