organisations can refer members of their team or their beneficiaries to us for psychological support.
Our counselling and clinical psychologists are specialists in responding to the psychological needs of people who have been affected by collective violence or who are working in humanitarian settings.
We work in a collaborative and person-centred way. We treat clients as the experts of their own experience and work in partnership with them to ensure their distress is lowered, they are safe and they can achieve their treatment goals.
