The Lighthouse - Bitterne

The Lighthouse is an informal, non-judgemental, out-of-hours mental health service for anyone over the age of 18 who requires short-term support with their mental health.

At the Lighthouse, we are unable to give medication or therapy, but we are able to provide in-the-moment support on your terms.

You can drop-in between the hours of 4:30pm and 10:30pm. Please note, face to face support ends at 11:00pm.

You can also speak to someone remotely via Attend Anywhere, or get in touch via text.
