Hello, as you mentioned that he has suicidal thoughts and self harming behavior,i suggest you try to take him to visit a psychiatrist doctor first as medication maybe needed to control his behaviour,once the behaviour is brought under control,he can take counselling sessions with a clinical psychologist who can help him to overcome his depression and past issues which seem to be affecting his present.Sometimes past issues are very deep rooted and it maybe difficult for him to resolve it on his own,then the counselling sessions can help him to resolve the issues.You will require a lot of patience as this process takes time,but he needs your support during this time to overcome his issues.Take care .
