The Moorings offer mental health support in a welcoming, safe, comfortable, non-judgmental, and non-clinical environment.

Our experienced staff team is available to provide emotional, social and practical support if you are in crisis or feel you are heading toward a crisis situation.

We offer support in person, over the phone, or via video call. You can come just for a chat, or to access one-to-one support from trained professionals. 

We also offer help in creating staying well and crisis plans, and support visitors to access other organisations that may be useful to them.

People using The Mooring will also be supported by our 24/7 helpline, which offers access to emotional support and information even when The Mooring is closed.

There's no need to be referred and no need for an appointment.
