If you need support now.
Shadow work is a reflective practice, not crisis support. If you are struggling right now, the services on this page are the right door — free, confidential, and staffed by people trained for exactly this.
Nothing on this site is therapy, and none of it diagnoses anything. Some things deserve more than reflection: a low mood that will not lift, thoughts of harming yourself, old trauma surfacing, or a dependence you cannot put down on your own. If any of those are present, please talk to your GP, refer yourself to NHS talking therapies, or find a qualified therapist through a professional register such as BACP or UKCP.
The Code of Ethics asks the same of every practitioner: this work is not for someone in acute crisis, and a practitioner who meets one will always refer on to the professional support that fits. That is not a closed door — many people return to the work later, once their footing is steadier.
