We are a community-based mental health, volunteer-run organisation based in Walthamstow- aiming to support people within the community suffering from stress, anxiety and depression by providing low-cost counselling and affordable wellbeing workshops.
We believe people can be helped to find their own solutions given the right support and we aim to offer a range of tools to help with this. As well as counselling, we currently offer weekly Meditation sessions/ Sound Baths and Community walks.
Main Content
Counselling
Our counselling approach is mainly person-centred which means the sessions are led by you. Your counsellor will listen to you with compassion, empathy and unconditional acceptance, and will take your lead on what you want to talk about. We do not advise or direct as we believe people are their own best experts and can be supported to find their own solutions, which might not be the solution that is best for someone else.
Self Love Meditation
Every wednesday 19:30 – 20:30 pm
Drop in sessions £5 per class

No need for any previous experience in meditation – this is guided meditation for people of all levels.
Please bring a cushion and bottle of water. Free parking available on site.
Mindfulness
The way we live our lives is directed by the thoughts in our head. Often our minds are noisy and the thoughts negative. Mindfulness is a tool that teaches self-awareness. By practicing mindfulness we can get in touch with our true emotions and our bodies to experience meaning in the present moment, rather than being dictated to by negative thought processes. Mindfulness allows us to change our perspective of the world and of ourselves, helping us to be happier, healthier, calmer individuals.
Green Therapy – Community Walks
Green therapy is the name given to a wide range of treatment programmes which aim to improve your mental and physical wellbeing through doing outdoor activities in nature.
Connecting with nature in this way can have lots of positive health benefits.

This is a wonderful resource set in a calm corner of the forest yet easily accessible. I have had the privilege of... working alongside the team, and seen their compassion and energy firsthand for their cause, and how it has benefited those who use the services. The workshops and counselling services are well attended and effective. Highly recommend using them or helping support them if in a position to do so.
We are lucky to have them.read more

I really like the location of the centre as it has a calm atmosphere and set on the edge of woodland. I have attended... the meditation workshops and found them professionally run and really helpful. But mostly I like the fact that if you are on low income like me I can assess the counselling service. I think it is an asset to the community.read more
