Home — The Maya Centre

We are on a mission to improve women's mental health.

Established in 1984, the Maya Centre is a community-based charity in Islington providing free, culturally sensitive counselling, group work and complementary therapies.

We support women on low incomes whose mental health have been affected by a range of experiences including depression and anxiety, violence against women and girls, inequality, discrimination and racism.

We work together to give women from different cultural and language backgrounds more voice, choice and control over their wellbeing and life decisions.

Women do not feel safe walking home.

Women’s safety is intrinsically linked to mental health and wellbeing.

Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is foundational to improving women’s mental health.
