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/

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.

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.
