James' Place Charity

James’ Place Charity provides free, short-term therapy for men aged 18 and over in suicidal crisis. Professional therapists deliver six to eight individual face-to-face sessions in non-clinical centres in Liverpool, London, Newcastle and Birmingham. The charity offers rapid access without a waiting list and works alongside the NHS and local support services.

Set up after the death of the founders’ son James in 2006, James’ Place opened its first centre in Liverpool in 2018. It has since treated more than 6,000 suicidal men. Headquartered in London, the charity helps men understand and recover from crisis, with the same therapist throughout treatment and onward support through other services when needed.
