Counselling - NHS opens new window

British Association for Counselling grew from the Standing Conference for the Advancement of Counselling, a grouping of organisations inaugurated in 1970 at the instigation of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations. Membership was extended to include individuals when in 1977, with the aid of a grant from the Home Office Voluntary Service Unit, the British Association for Counselling was founded.
Nafsiyat is a registered charity (North London Service) and has been providing high quality, low cost, community based 'intercultural' psychodynamic psychotherapy in North London since 1983. It provides psychotherapy for patients from diverse cultural backgrounds and therapists not only work with patients from cultures and ethnicities different from their own but also the therapists themselves come from a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Our main work covers providing psychotherapy and counselling services to members of cultural minority groups. Staff at Nafsiyat includes analytically trained psychotherapists and counsellors.
