What is counselling?

It’s a safe, confidential space where you can talk through whatever you’re facing — at your own pace, with no judgement.

✔️ Be heard
✔️ Understand your thoughts and feelings
✔️ Get support through life’s challenges
✔️ Take a step towards feeling more like yourself

Helplink Mental Health offers counselling 7 days a week — online nationwide and in person in Galway & Castlebar.

Reach out. We’re here to help 💚

Here at Helplink Mental Health we would like to say a big Thank You to all the staff at Galway and Mayo AIB for raising over €3000 for us during the fundraising campaign 2025.

We are grateful to everyone who took part in the AIB coffee mornings to raise vital funds for our service and enjoy a coffee and chat at the same time.

This money will go a long way to supporting Helplink Mental Health to provide free and low cost counselling services to those who need it.
