Our Counselling Service
Thanks to the funding we receive, we can offer counselling and psychotherapy free to asylum seekers, refugees and vulnerable migrants in Oxfordshire who are experiencing mental or emotional distress. We typically work with individuals, couples and families aged 12 and over. Children and young people aged under 12 can access it with a parent or guardian accompanying them.
Our counsellors are fully qualified and experienced. Appointments are usually one hour a week. The frequency of appointments is mutually agreed upon in accordance with needs but appointments are usually weekly, fortnightly, or monthly with regular reviews. Our counsellors work from our office in Oxford and from Banbury Therapy Centre, with whom we work in partnership. We provide interpreters if needed. We are happy to talk with you about what counselling is.
