About

Affordable counselling is hard to find. Crossroads Counselling is committed to providing long-term, low-cost, professional counselling for people on low incomes who live, work or study in Tower Hamlets.

 

Our counselling service aims to help clients to face and understand the reasons for their mental and emotional difficulties, increasing their sense of mental and emotional well-being. To find out more about our counselling, visit our Counselling page.

Crossroads Counselling became a registered charity in December 1994.

 

Over the period of our history, we have established ourselves as a committed and resilient community project whose professionalism and expertise is recognised by GPs, statutory services, other agencies and community organisations alike, all of whom refer clients to us.

We strive for excellence in the delivery of our counselling service by working in accordance with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's (BACP's) recognised professional standards. We aim to make our service accessible to all on low incomes in the diverse community of Tower Hamlets.

​

Our work is inspired by the Christian faith's values of love, compassion, acceptance, equality, non-judgement and respect.

We are a membership organisation. Our members appoint our Board of Trustees and have voting rights at our annual general meeting and any extraordinary general meetings.
