Help at GTBAL:
For a large number of us, reaching out and accessing help for the first time can often be the toughest part. Taking that first initial step to speaking, and accessing support is a scary one, however it’s also the biggest step you can take when it comes to accessing support.
More often or not, finding a friend of a close family member for a chat is a great way of sharing what’s going on, no matter how big or small. However, from time to time we understand it can be pretty daunting, and sometimes not everyone is in a position to talk to friends and family.
That's where we step in; GTBAL run a completely free, online counselling service open to anyone over the age of 16.
Simply email us, and we'll send you a link to our nearest available session (usually within 24-48 hours). From this point onwards, you'll only be in contact with our counsellors, nobody at GTBAL will know what goes on during your sessions.

Chatting to someone anonymous about how you’re feeling and what you’re experiencing can be a great first step. It’s also a great avenue to phone to explore local options within your hometown or local area.
