Suicide Prevention - Enduringmind - Counselling in Twickenham

Bearing in mind we have just past the WHO World Suicide Prevention Day I wonder if there are any counsellors or clients for that matter who have recently experienced despair in themselves or others who wish to end their lives. 

I have also been reflecting on the man, Tony Nicklinson, who had 'locked-in syndrome' who recently lost his court case but just gave up living recently. I wonder if we have the right as human beings to end our lives (sacred as they are), or indeed do we have the right to insist that those who suffer keep on living (given the sacred right to freewill). 

And what does this say about those people who appear at our clinics who are 'at risk' of suicide. Must we be motivated to save them, or assist them in their act of ultimate withdrawal and freedom. if you wish to contribute to this comment here or on my website at:
