North West STOP was first formed in 2004 by families that had been bereaved by suicides in their family. They saw a gap in the services and wanted to help others not to go through the same experience as themselves. We offer free counselling to the people of all ages living in the northwest of Ireland, often to those on long waiting lists with the mental health services. Our purpose is to provide a safe, confidential place where you can safely talk about the loss, stress, confusion, conflicts and other pain in your life. Our style of Counselling is to Listen, Support and perhaps help you with insight to either change what is possible to change or to live more contentedly and creatively with that which is not. We will act to intervene with appropriate support, commitment and compassion. We offer alternative therapies such as art and play therapy.
