We provide weekly, professional, long term therapy for adults who are unemployed or on low incomes, who cannot (for whatever reason) access counselling elsewhere in Tower Hamlets and who are struggling with enduring emotional and mental health difficulties. Crossroads Counselling also works with local primary school children coping with a wide range of issues such as family breakdown, domestic violence and low self esteem. We also offer relationship counselling for couples and supervision.

Crossroads Counselling is the ONLY provider of long-term, low cost counselling in the Borough. Tower Hamlets is a deprived borough: many families are subject to poor housing, live on low incomes or benefits. As a result many of the triggers for mental health issues are prevalent but there is a huge lack of corresponding NHS provision. Unlike other healthcare providers we don't limit our counselling to a set number of sessions, we work with the individual for as long as we are needed.

We monitor closely the impact on those receiving counselling and ask them to assess the improvements in their lives. Most of our clients report benefits in their mental health and emotional lives, such as increased self esteem, being able to cope and decreased depression. This has a tangible impact on their everyday lives: such as improved relationships, better family situations, improved integration into local communities and can offer hope for the future.
