Partnering with Waterloo Community Counselling

Building Hope, Healing and Community - Together

At Waterloo Community Counselling, we provide free and affordable counselling for people facing the greatest barriers to mental health support — including refugees, asylum seekers and local residents on low incomes.

As we enter our Year of Hope and Healing, demand for our services continues to grow. Last year alone, we supported 659 people through more than 7,900 counselling sessions, and the need keeps rising.

This is where our partners play a vital role.

By partnering with WCC, your organisation becomes part of a community‑rooted, trauma‑informed approach that ensures people experiencing hardship, displacement or financial barriers can access safe, dignified and culturally responsive therapy.

Why Partner With Waterloo Community Counselling?

A partnership with WCC is more than corporate giving — it’s a chance to create measurable, life‑changing impact in the communities where you operate.

Together, we can:

  • Remove financial barriers to mental health support by funding free and low‑cost counselling
  • Improve wellbeing and confidence — 95% of our clients report improved mental health, and 92% increased confidence and self‑esteem
  • Support sanctuary‑seeking communities, with counselling available in 20+ languages to people from 75+ countries
  • Strengthen community connection, reducing isolation through group activities, referrals and practical support
“I wouldn’t overestimate if I said that counselling saved my life.”

Partnership Spotlight: Circe’s Rooftop Bar

Our partnership with Circe’s Rooftop Bar shows what’s possible when local businesses and charities unite around shared values. As Circe’s chosen charity partner, we’re proud to work together to make mental health support more accessible and affordable for Londoners who need it most.

From creative fundraising initiatives to ongoing donations from selected cocktail and small‑plate sales, Circe’s has embraced our mission with generosity and care — turning everyday moments into meaningful impact.

The spirit of this collaboration came to life at the Garden of the Gods Charity Party in April 2026, an evening of connection, celebration and community. Thanks to Circe’s and their supporters, vital funds were raised to directly support our counselling services.

“It has been an honour to support Waterloo Community Counselling. Through our charity menu items and events, we’re proud to help continue their incredible impact.”
