If you are in crisis or feeling suicidal, we urge you to seek help from your general practitioner, from your local hospital emergency department, through a telephone helpline service, or by discussing your problems with a friend or colleague. #WSPD2025

Well done England Lionesses! #winners #WEURO2025 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦁🎉🍾👏

I've been working on the follow-up to When It Is Darkest tonight after a wee bit of a hiatus, for various reasons. When I published When It Is Darkest, I did so without an agent - and was super pleased by how it went. But I think that an agent would really help for book #2. If you're an agent or know an agent who might be interested in representing me, please get in touch. 🙏

Good luck Englands Lionesses! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🦁 #Lionesses #WomensFootball @FootballAssoc #Euro2025 #EnglandvSpain

Suicide loss can often bring up feelings of guilt - many survivors blame themselves for not 'seeing the signs'. While these feelings are common, it's important to know that a death by suicide is the result of many complex factors beyond any one person's control 💜

Peer support can be a lifeline after losing someone to suicide. It costs £50 to keep one support group running for a whole month. Visit the link in our bio to learn how you can fundraise or donate to SoBS today, and help us make a difference 💜 #SurvivorsOfBereavementBySuicide
