Tapering off and stopping taking Sertraline

I can’t get a GP appointment for love nor money at the moment but I think I’m ready to stop taking my Sertraline. I’ve been on 50mg for a year now and am feeling good and not keen on taking them long term.
Does anyone know what sort of timings/dosages I need to be looking at, say cutting down to 25mg and buying a tablet cutter for a week or longer?

I did this and took advice from our pharmacy. I think I did 2 weeks on half dose, then 3 weeks on half every other day.
