The Moorings provide out-of-hours mental health support in a welcoming, comfortable, and non-clinical setting across Devon. Our experienced team is ready to offer emotional, social, and practical assistance if you're experiencing a mental health crisis or feel you're approaching one.
You can connect with us in person at one of our locations in Barnstaple, Exeter, or Torquay, or receive support over the phone or via video call. Whether you simply want a casual chat or need focused one-to-one guidance from trained mental health professionals, we're here to help. We can also assist you in developing "staying well" and crisis plans, and connect you with other helpful organisations.
There's no need for a referral from a GP or other service, and appointments aren't required. Anyone aged 18 or over is welcome to drop in during our opening hours. Additionally, for support outside of these hours, people using The Moorings have access to a 24/7 helpline for emotional support and information. From October 2025, they will be open 4pm-10pm Fri-Tuesday.
Please note that The Moorings is not suitable for individuals needing urgent medical attention, such as after self-harm. For immediate medical care, please go to your nearest A&E or call 999.
