The Right Key Counselling & Support

11/03/2026

When someone feels suicidal their thoughts can become repetitive and feel completely overwhelming leaving them feeing stuck in a cycle.

If you spot someone who doesn’t look OK. Small, soft questions can be a gentle way in - they interrupt the cycle of thoughts without pressuring or overwhelming someone

Ordinary things like commenting on the weather, the time or the dog nearby, can help someone shift a little inside and engage with the world outside of their thoughts.

From there, listen, show you care, maybe help them find a quiet spot. Ask if there’s someone you can contact for them. You could also gently point them toward Samaritans or their GP.

You don’t have to have the perfect words.
You don’t have to fix anything.
You can start small.
