Our free counselling service for refugees and asylum seekers is designed to give those who have been displaced a safe, supportive space to discuss difficult emotions and feelings.

To be eligible for this service you have to meet the following criteria:

• You must be over 18
• Live, work or study in Merton borough
• Need help with mild to moderate mental health issues
• Be able to attend weekly sessions at the same day and time
• identity as a refugee or asylum seeker

You’ll receive up to 16 sessions with a qualified counsellor who has experience in working with refugees and asylum seekers. The counsellor will not give you opinions or advice but will support you to come up with your own ideas or solutions.

Counselling sessions will take place at Wimbledon Guild in Wimbledon or WG Morden in Morden. Interpreters are available.

Some people need more support than this service can offer. Click here for more information about who we're unable to help.
