Run by women, for women.

About us

Kingston Women’s Centre is run by women for women. We welcome women from all backgrounds of all ages from the local community. We aim to provide a safe confidential space where you can talk about anything in your life that may be uncomfortable, confusing or painful without fear of judgement. We provide counselling on a weekly basis for up to two years.

Our counselling helps in different ways:

  • Manage difficult feelings
  • Find new ways of relating to yourself and others
  • Support you through life crises or life changes

There are many reasons to seek counselling such as: Anger issues, anxiety, bereavement, childhood sexual abuse, difficult childhood experiences, domestic abuse, depression, identity issues, life changes / life crisis, panic attacks, pregnancy and parenting issues, relationship difficulties, sensitivity and shame, trauma, work-related issues.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) information

We will be re-opening our doors to in-person assessments and counselling sessions, for double vaccinated clients, from Monday 13 September 2021. Our centre remains closed until then.

To safely reopen our doors to working in-person with our clients, we have put in place some measures to minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission :

    • counsellors and staff returning to work at KWC are double vaccinated,
    • there are hand sanitisers around the building,
    • our windows will be open for ventilation,
    • chairs will be distanced 1+metre apart
    • if able to do so, masks to be worn in communal areas.

What we are asking of our clients: To safeguard all our service users, counsellors and staff, KWC are asking that all our clients who  request to return, or start, in-person sessions are:

    • double vaccinated,
    • are able to follow our COVID secure measures.

If you are not double vaccinated we will be able to offer online counselling sessions over zoom.
