Individual Counselling
A programme of up to 18 weekly sessions with the same counsellor, where you can explore how you are feeling and discuss your experiences in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
One to one counselling is currently offered in three ways: in person, by telephone, or by video call. You will need a safe and confidential space to use this service. You also have the option to join the waiting list for face-to-face counselling if no spaces are currently available.
In Confidence
At Woman’s Trust, we use a person-centred and trauma-informed approach to counselling.
We understand the need for you to feel safe physically, psychologically and emotionally.
Everything you say to us is confidential, unless there is a risk of significant harm to you or others.
We will always put you at the centre of any decision that we make.
Please read our confidentiality policy and procedure for more details.
Getting support
Our counselling services are free, confidential and available in person (face to face), by phone, or via video call.
We support women across London via self-referrals, also referrals from partners, including Advance and Refuge, and from professionals.
