1-2-1 Counsellor chat

Chat with a counsellor online about whatever's worrying you.

On Wednesday 19 February and Thursday 20 February, between 3am and 7:30am, 1-2-1 chats won’t be available while we do some important maintenance to our systems.

While 1-2-1 chats are unavailable you can still speak to a counsellor by calling 0800 1111, using the message boards or sending an email from your locker. If you’re in danger or it’s an emergency, you should always call 999.

Talking to Childline at night

Childline works a little differently overnight. You can still speak to a counsellor, but you might not be able to talk for a long as usual. Chat with a counsellor online about whatever's worrying you.

Wait time:
Red

You might have to wait a while to get through to a counsellor, so if you need immediate help it's quicker to call us on 0800 1111. If you don’t need a reply right away, try sending a message to a counsellor instead.

You could also get support from the message boards or look at Ask Sam letters for advice.
