Counselling service for refugees and people seeking asylum
Free counselling service for refugees and asylum seekers in Merton

You’ll receive up to 16 sessions with a qualified Wimbledon Guild 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. Travel costs can be covered.
A translator may be available to attend your sessions. Please let us know if you need this help when you call.
