About this service
Anyone who is 16 years old or over can access support at The Sanctuary in Bristol.
We support people who are experiencing serious emotional distress for all sorts of reasons. You may be going through a problem that is negatively affecting your mental health, or maybe you’re not sure where certain emotions are coming from and you’re finding it hard to cope.
Here are a few examples of things people are going through when they come to The Sanctuary:
Stress or frustration
Anxiety, worrying, or feeling overwhelmed
Depression, low moods or feelings of sadness
Feeling apathetic, like nothing matters or finding it hard to look forward to things
Feeling unmotivated or feeling a lack of meaning or purpose
Feeling lonely or isolated
Finding it hard to relate to others or missing meaningful social connections
Finding it difficult to manage emotions
Grief or loss
Circumstantial challenges, such as work, money, social or personal issues
We offer short-term listening support to those experiencing an emotional crisis. We offer telephone appointments from 5pm – midnight and face-to-face appointments from 6pm - 11pm. You will need to complete our triage process (usually done over the phone) in order to book an appointment with us.
We can offer up to a maximum of 3 support sessions, and this is allocated on a case-by-case basis. We will aim to offer you an appointment within 48 hours of you reaching out for support.
