Counselling service for people from Black and Asian communities
Counselling provides an opportunity to talk about your feelings and thoughts in a confidential space without judgement.
The counsellor will not give you opinions or advice but will support you to come up with your own ideas or solutions.
If you are eligible, this service will provide 16 sessions of counselling free of charge with a counsellor from a Black or Asian background who understands and recognises the impact of cultural differences in your life.
Counselling sessions will take place at Wimbledon Guild in Wimbledon or WG Morden in Morden.
From 1st October onwards, the day for people to call in for the Black and Asian Service will change to the first Wednesday of each month. Until then, if you'd like to be assessed for this service, give us a call on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
