Mission Statement
Help Women and Health continue providing low cost counselling and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and online classes services to vulnerable women.
About This Cause
At Women + Health we have been supporting the mental, emotional and physical health needs of vulnerable women, including survivors of domestic and sexual violence, for over 30 years. We were set up by a group of women who wanted to provide low cost, accessible alternative health care to women in Camden. We provide long and short term counselling, as well as a range of complementary and alternative medicine therapies (CAMs) to vulnerable women. Treatments include acupuncture, osteopathy, reflexology, life coaching and group activities. We are part of the Camden IAPT Partnership, and members of the Camden iCope Counselling Service, led by Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust. We are the only member of the partnership providing a women-only service to Camden residents suffering from anxiety and depression, though we do see a small number of men in the evenings and online. We offer free short-term (up to 10 sessions) counselling (STC) to local residents as well as a longer term low cost counselling service (LTC). These low cost LTC sessions are subsidised by ourselves and are a valuable life line for women who cannot afford the full price of counselling or psychotherapy, which can be a minimum of £80 in London. We also provide gardening sessions weekly under our “Green Fingers Calm Minds” programme, and online yoga, we are hoping to provide more online classes soon and are fundraising for this.
