What is the Maya Centre?
The Maya Centre provides free psychodynamic counselling and group psychotherapy for women on low incomes living in Islington.
We run projects to provide counselling for refugees and asylum-seekers, for Irish women, older women and women affected by domestic violence.
We provide counselling in six languages: English, French, Farsi, Turkish, Sylheti, Bangladeshi, Spanish and Portuguese. We undertake outreach and educational work on issues relating to women’s mental health.
