Charities and Self Help
There are a number of charities and organisations who work to help people with certain difficulties. The charities listed here are a selection that have information on certain difficulties or aspects of mental health. Not all offer counselling and the range of services and help they have may differ but sometimes a website and some basic information is a good place to start.
Sometimes just knowing you are not the only person facing a difficulty can be helpful.
