For folks in the UK if you’re in crisis contact the Samaritans https://www.samaritans.org/ call 116 123. It’s free and 24/7 and fully confidential. They’re helped me out in the past, don’t hesitate to call.
The suicide prevention line isn't only for suicides, they also help people with crises and just managing with life in general. 1 800 273 8255.
And I just looked this one up but it sounds cool, if you're having any kind of crisis, there's a crisis text line and you can text "HOME" to 741741 to text with a crisis counselor.
Actually, here are all the free crisis numbers, looks like some are tailored and some more general:
Which one of these are international? I speak English but live in Vietnam for example, yet I'd love to be able to have access to something like this.
I'm not in the area or an expert but this link seems to contain a lot of useful leads.

There's a Facebook group with links to people in Hanoi.

There are also resources for other cities.
Isn't there something similar in Vietnamese?
I would suggest using a voip app like textnow where you can get a free phone number and call phone numbers for free.
Ask for help here if you need to. Don't stress about finding the right place. Find a comfortable place.
Edit: sorry. I didn't see the word "professional" in your post at first. Others have given you better advice. Crisis doesn't always mean self-harm. There are places to talk about bills, marriage, depression, loneliness, etc.
How can we help?

The new 988 number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline went into effect on July 16, 2022. In July 2020, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 988 as the new three-digit number for the Lifeline. The number has trained staff to answer calls from individuals at risk for suicide as well as those experiencing other mental health and substance use-related emergencies. Specialized services are available for veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other groups.
There's a website called 7 cups of tea which is what I think you might be thinking of https://www.7cups.com/community/
Thank you, this may not be the exact one I saw but its pretty damn close, really appreciate it .
Keep in mind, many of these people are untrained and unverified and may have no clue what they're doing and make your situation worse.

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
