I need help now

You do not have to face these thoughts alone. We are here to listen with care, compassion and without judgement.

I want to help

I believe I could offer empathetic, calm and non-judgemental support to someone who is in distress.

 

By volunteering, you can help create a safe space where people feel heard, valued and less alone.

Understanding the need for support

Suicide takes around 20 lives every day in the UK and remains one of the leading causes of death for people under 35. Many people who die are not receiving support, and those who do often face long waits before accessing help.

Neurodivergent people face a significantly higher risk. Those with autism and ADHD are more likely to attempt or die by suicide, often masking distress and going unseen by traditional services.

We provide free, regular, face-to-face support so people can talk openly about their suicidal feelings in a safe and confidential space.

Our Team

Our volunteers are supported through expert guidance and supervision from qualified mental health counsellors who generously give their time. This ensures safe, high quality support for everyone who accesses our service.

ADHD and Autism Support

At LilyAnne’s Wellbeing, we provide neurodiversity-friendly mental health and wellbeing support for adults with ADHD, autism and related emotional wellbeing difficulties.

We understand that many neurodivergent individuals experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, loneliness, sensory stress and difficulties accessing traditional support services.

 

Many people spend years masking how they feel, struggling silently or feeling misunderstood by professionals, workplaces or wider society.

Our aim is to create safe, welcoming and understanding environments where people feel accepted without pressure to mask who they are.

Support may include:

  • Emotional wellbeing support

  • Counselling and listening support

  • Peer support and social connection

  • Support around anxiety and overwhelm

  • Coffee mornings and community activities

  • Safe and low-pressure environments

  • Neurodiversity-aware communication and support

We recognise that ADHD and autism can affect people differently, and support should be flexible and centred around the individual. Some people may benefit from one-to-one support, while others may find community connection and peer support helpful in reducing isolation and improving confidence.

You do not need a formal diagnosis to access support through LilyAnne’s Wellbeing. Whether you have a diagnosis, are awaiting assessment or simply recognise traits within yourself, our team is here to provide understanding and compassionate support.

We believe neurodiversity-friendly support should be accessible, non-judgemental and focused on helping people feel heard, supported and less alone.

ADHD and Mental Health

ADHD can have a significant impact on mental health and emotional wellbeing. Many adults with ADHD experience anxiety, emotional overwhelm, burnout, racing thoughts, low confidence and difficulties coping with everyday pressures.

 

For some individuals, years of masking difficulties, feeling misunderstood or struggling to meet expectations can lead to exhaustion and emotional stress. Challenges with focus, organisation, impulsivity, sleep and emotional regulation can also affect relationships, work, education and overall wellbeing.

 

Many people with ADHD report feeling constantly overwhelmed or mentally exhausted, particularly when trying to manage busy environments, responsibilities or social pressures. Others may struggle with feelings of frustration, isolation or self-doubt after years of feeling different or unsupported.

 

At LilyAnne’s Wellbeing, we understand the close connection between ADHD and mental health. Our approach focuses on providing safe, understanding and neurodiversity-friendly support where individuals feel listened to, respected and supported without judgement.

 

We believe support should be compassionate, accessible and adapted around the individual, helping people feel less alone and more able to manage the challenges they may be facing.

Autism and Mental Health

Autistic individuals are significantly more likely to experience mental health difficulties such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, loneliness, burnout and depression. Many autistic adults spend years masking how they feel, trying to cope in environments that can feel overwhelming, exhausting or difficult to navigate.

 

Sensory sensitivities, social pressures, communication challenges and feeling misunderstood can all have a major impact on emotional wellbeing over time. For some people, this can lead to stress, isolation, exhaustion and difficulties managing everyday life.

 

Many autistic adults also describe negative experiences when accessing support, often feeling judged, dismissed or unsupported by traditional services. This can make reaching out for help feel even more difficult.

 

At LilyAnne’s Wellbeing, we understand the close connection between autism and mental health. Our aim is to provide safe, understanding and neurodiversity-friendly support where people feel accepted, listened to and supported at their own pace.

 

We believe mental health support should be compassionate, accessible and adapted around the needs of the individual, helping autistic adults feel less alone and more able to manage the challenges they may be facing.
