Suicidal Thoughts
Dr George Booty. The PsychoTRAUMA Clinic (Convergence College of Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist, Dr, DPsych, MA Couns, MA Psych, PG Dip Spvn
I believe that suicide is something that can be tackled seriously and confidently and is a spiritual battle which can be due to how someone manifests in the flesh. I believe everyone is a uniques soul who lives n a body and has a spiritual aspect to their humanity and once the soul qualities can be manifest the person with deal more fully and integrate better in society and within relationships that are often at the heart fo suicidal tendencies. I helped 15 suicidal people in my first year of volunteering and showed my system of care and the keys to open the life are available.

Suicidal Thoughts
Julie Jenner
Counsellor/Therapist, BA(Hons), NCS Senior Accredited
Suicidal thoughts come in many different forms. They might be vague thoughts like, if I died all this would go away. They might be more certain with an actual plan in mind for what you want to do. However these thoughts appear in your mind, they are pointing at a level of pain you are feeling that can feel overwhelming and that you see no way out of. We often cannot see a solution by ourselves. If we keep our pain inside, we deny ourselves the chance to see another perspective. Sometimes just being given permission to say it all out loud can bring enough release to then start considering alternative solutions. Don't suffer alone. Give yourself a chance to see if there could be a different way out of your pain. Whatever you feel is ok, your thoughts are your own, and only you can decide if you want to try something different/

Alison Edwards 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 ongoing CPD events with the British Psychological Society on non-suicidal self-harm.

When depression leads to feelings of being trapped and hopeless, excessive guilt or shame, being in a heightened state of anxiety, experiencing changes in personality, routine or sleeping patterns, consuming drugs or alcohol in excess, feeling isolated, talking about being a burden to others, engaging in risky behaviour, severe remorse and self criticism, unable to experience pleasure form normally pleasurable life events and feeling regretful about being alive, then it can lead to the individual thinking about or planning to end their life. These thoughts can range from a detailed plan to a fleeting consideration.

Preston is Lancashire's county town and a city shaped by its industrial past — once a major cotton manufacturing center — that has evolved into a hub for public services, healthcare, and the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), one of the UK's largest universities. UCLan's significant student population generates consistent mental health demand and clinical training pipelines, and the Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services. Preston's large South Asian and Eastern European communities — including one of the UK's largest Gujarati communities — drive sustained demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists. The city's working-class character and post-industrial economic challenges mean therapists frequently address depression, economic stress, and intergenerational family dynamics alongside student and professional concerns.
