Lifelines

Lifeline recognises that there are many people in Northern Ireland who are not native English speakers. However, if English isn’t your first or preferred language, you can still phone Lifeline.

Lifeline uses the Big Word Interpreting service to support callers who cannot or prefer not to speak English.

Big Word Interpreting is free to use.

Interpreters working for Big Word are bound by confidentiality.

To use Big Word

Phone Lifeline on 0808 808 8000

Tell the counsellor that you need an interpreter

Tell the counsellor the name of your preferred language

Once you are connected to an interpreter you will have a three-way conversation with Lifeline.

If you are attending face-to-face counselling and require an interpreter, Lifeline will arrange this when booking your appointment.
