Life Changing Counselling in the Heart of London

Waterloo Community Counselling

Affordable & Accessible Counselling

 We are a charity offering counselling at a reduced rate to ensure that everyone can access the support they need. We aim to make therapy affordable and accessible for individuals from diverse backgrounds by offering a sliding scale fee. We support adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, trauma, and other mental health issues.

Multilingual Counselling for Refugees & Asylum-Seekers

Our unique service provides free mother-tongue counselling in over 23 different languages to displaced communities living in London. Many of the people we support have survived exile and torture. WCC offers one of the very few services open to victims of human trafficking and modern slavery – many of whom cannot access financial aid.
