A Lifeline for all Women Who Have Nowhere Else to Turn

As a leading faith institute, we offer a space for women to experience wholistic healing.

Maryam Women’s Counselling Service aims to alleviate or lessen distress for women experiencing mental fragility whom need support to return to health and strength.

Our trained, experienced and qualified counsellor’s therapeutic approach integrates faith informed practice in addition to cultural sensitivities.

Mental wellness is a framework we believe should be a quality of life for all thus we intend to reach as many faiths and non-faith clients to grow in self-awareness facilitating hope and harmony.

At present there is a significant gap in mental health provision for Muslim women to be heard and understood.

We are appealing for funding resources to continue to support this unique service to continue to meet the high volume of needs with the community

Since 2011, Maryam Women's Counselling Service has provided professional, BACP-registered therapy that integrates Islamic values with evidence-based practice. We offer a safe space where vulnerable women feel deeply understood and spiritually connected.

Each year we have hundreds reach out to us for support.

But we don't have the resources to help everyone who needs us.

Real Women, Real Breakthroughs

Finding strategies to manage my anxiety - and having a safe place to speak - helped me to move forward.

It's a safe place for Muslim women to share their worries and delve into their trauma.

Our clients consistently rate the service as "extremely effective." Many wait months to see us rather than go elsewhere - because they know we understand them in a way other services cannot.

Our counsellors have the skills and availability to offer more sessions, but our limited budget means we must turn women away when they need us most. Women experiencing severe trauma, domestic abuse, or suicidal ideation face dangerously long waiting times.

Your donation - whether one-time or monthly - ensures that when a woman reaches out in crisis, we can be there for her.
