Who are we?

We are a low-cost counselling service supporting clients through a range of mental health difficulties.

Who are our clients?

Our clients are over the age of 18 and live, work or study in the London Borough of Merton.

What do we do?

Our approach is to work psychodynamically, which means that we’re interested in helping you think about the difficulties you’re facing now, as well as thinking together about your past experiences. 

We offer relatively long-term individual counselling/psychotherapy we also see clients at times for shorter periods of time too, you do not have to commit to long-term counselling/psychotherapy.

We also offer Group Psychotherapy which is a regular, weekly group facilitated by a group analyst.  Please find more information here.

How to book for counselling?

To book an assessment please give us a call on 020 8296 0030 for a 20minute triage. During the telephone triage we will book you in for an in-depth 90-minute conversation with an assessor that will take place via telephone or online. We will also add you onto our database and ask you a few questions to get an overview on why you’d like to start therapy; these notes will be passed onto the assessor. Once you’ve had your assessment, it will be decided if we are the right service for you, and which part of our service will suit you.  You will be added onto the waiting list and it could take up to 12 weeks to allocate you to a therapist.  If you are assessed for group therapy, the wait may be shorter.

Please note all assessments are offered on a first come first serve basis. If you are unable to book an assessment, we will ask you to call back on another date.
