Suicidal thinking can in itself be a frightening experience. Therapy helps to understand where the thoughts are coming from- how they developed- allowing you to make sense of them, and to take the necessary action to reduce and move on from the associated feelings.

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.

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.

Belfast's complex history — encompassing decades of sectarian conflict during the Troubles, the Good Friday Agreement, and ongoing peace process work — shapes a therapy culture in which community trauma, intergenerational grief, and political identity are recurring clinical themes. The city has made significant strides in mental health awareness, and a growing generation of therapists trained through Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University brings contemporary approaches to a city still processing historical wounds. Belfast Health and Social Care Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in South Belfast and the university quarter. The relative normalisation of therapy-seeking among younger Belfast residents represents a meaningful cultural shift from earlier generations.
