LifeLine - 24-hour free phone support

LifeLine aims to reduce personal stress through readily available counselling.

As life becomes more complex, traditional supports may not be available for people in times of need. Lack of transport, illness, family commitments and unfamiliarity with new society can mean that many people are socially isolated. LifeLine provides a professional, free and confidential service offering help, support and information. We deal with many kinds of personal problems; psychological, emotional, marriage and family, people who are lonely, ill or depressed.

LifeLine's 24-hour telephone counselling is a process of exploring caring ways to resolve your situation in an anonymous, compassionate and supportive environment. It's not about giving you quick-fix solutions or blaming you, or telling you what's right or wrong: but more about truly listening to you and working with you to find your own answers.
