Fast track and longer-term service
a specialist mental health and well-being support organisation for black, minority ethnic, asylum seeker, refugee and migrant women and girls (12+) in the Edinburgh and Glasgow area.
"Our low cost counselling service is staffed by therapists in advanced training and works on a sliding scale basis depending on your income and what you can afford (minimum fee £10/hr). Access to our low cost service is subject to an initial assessment and currently we are only able to offer this to adults age 18+. This part of our service is not for profit - we use the fees to support our student volunteers with the supervision and training expenses associated with their placement with us."
