Support services in London for a friend who is suicidal.

Hi there - my friends daughter who lost her best friend to suicide recently is now suicidal herself (in her late 20's)
Her family is coming up against a bit of a dead end in support - the crisis team are saying they can't help unless she's already tried to do something.

She's got a counsellor - not sure it they are helping.

Does anyone have any other ideas of support I can pass on please?

The Samaritans used to have a face to face service in central London. This might be good?
would she like to talk to anyone? Does she have good friends around?

I know someone who found Maytree House invaluable

I've sent link to the Samaritans and the Maytree - yes the Samaritans did have a face to face service - I'll look more into this.

Any other suggestions are welcome - as with all these services we have to keep trying to connect to the help we will accept!
