Description
The Refugee Therapy Centre offers counselling, psychotherapy and associated treatments to refugees and asylum seekers. The people we serve have endured debilitating human rights abuses, as well as multiple losses and bereavement, resulting in immeasurable psychological stress. The Centre provides a safe space in which people can feel empowered to deal with their psychological difficulties, rediscover their abilities and rebuild their confidence to become active members of the society they are living in.
For our Mentoring Project, we are looking for enthusiastic, committed medical students, or final year undergraduate / postgraduate psychology students, to spend 3 hours a week supporting people with adapting to life in the UK and improving their English language skills.
