Women's Therapy Centre PDF Print E-mail
The Women's Therapy Centre provides psychotherapy for women by women.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy can be an effective intervention for women experiencing mental or emotional distress, enabling them to progress in their lives, and providing women with the tools and skills with which to more effectively process their emotional lives.

The Centre is committed to making psychotherapy accessible to women who traditionally do not have equal access to psychotherapy including women from black and ethnic minority communities, refugees, asylum seekers, young women, disabled women and women on low incomes.

  • We offer individual and group therapy which can be available in languages other than English.
  • We offer some practical advice and support to women who are refugees or asylum seekers alongside psychotherapy.
  • We provide information sessions on what is psychotherapy for community groups

Our skilled and experienced therapists who work with a wide range of mental health problems including:

  • eating disorders
  • trauma
  • domestic violence
  • childhood sexual abuse
  • self-harming

To find out more about how we may be able to help you, please give us a call on 020 7263 6200.
