Confidential Helpline

Our purpose is to provide emotional first aid for dentists in distress. We can allow you to offload and talk through your issues in complete confidence; we will then offer you signposting to further useful organisations if appropriate. Sometimes all we are needed to do is listen!

How it works

Our Counselling and Peer Support service is for those seeking a safe, confidential place to talk about professional or emotional issues or worries.

When you call Confidental you will be greeted by a short automated message. The call is then directed to one of our listeners (all practicing or retired dentists) who will listen to you and help to empower you to come to your own solution or signpost you to a relevant organisation who may be able to offer you further advice.

As Confidental is run entirely by volunteers we will unfortunately be unable to catch every call.

In the event that we aren’t able to answer your call you will hear second message which will ask you to try again and will also give details for Samaritans.

Please call 0333 9875158
