Women’s Counselling and Psychotherapy
Things can get better – and it starts here.
Right now, you might feel trapped or hopeless. You might feel like there’s no way out of your situation. But, for 50 years, we’ve helped women from all backgrounds, facing all kinds of issues, to live happier lives. Women dealing with bereavement or trauma, women who have been through homelessness or the criminal justice system, survivors of abuse or discrimination – we’ve welcomed them all. We welcome you too.
“Therapy has been transformative and I think maybe life changing.
I feel like I’ve grown up and maybe understand myself now."Service user
We offer short-term therapy to all self-identifying women and are able to offer a combination of talking therapy and movement psychotherapy.
If you would like to have therapy with us, please download and complete a Referral Form and return it to [email protected]
All our therapists are self-identified women and are qualified or attending postgraduate counselling and psychotherapy courses.
We offer 12 weeks of support, with fees operating on a sliding scale depending on your household income.
Though waiting times may vary, the current average waiting time for therapy to start is approximately 10 months. During this time, an exploratory assessment will be arranged with you to establish whether therapy is the right course of treatment for you at this time.
Currently we are delivering therapy via face-to-face appointments, video call (Microsoft Teams or Zoom) or over the telephone.
