What is self-harm?
Self-harm is when someone deliberately harms themselves. It’s a very personal and complex response to lots of different things going on in someone’s life like for example dealing with emotional pain, feeling disconnected, or feeling stressed. Self-harm can be a way of coping, and it’s important to understand it can also be a response to trauma.
The support we offer
We can offer you compassionate and non-judgemental support if you’re living with self-harm. We’ll explore with you the issues around the self-harm and work with you to discover alternative coping strategies. But we won’t just focus on self-harm, we’ll explore with you your overall wellbeing and the things that are important to you in your life. Many of our team members have their own lived experience of living with mental health challenges, and so we have an understanding of what you might be going through.
