Our Languages

We know that talking about personal experiences can feel easier when you can speak in the language that feels most natural to you.

At The Maya Centre, we are proud to be an intercultural therapy service. Our diverse team of therapists speaks a range of languages and brings a wealth of cultural understanding to their work. For many clients, being able to access therapy in their first language can help them feel more comfortable, understood, and connected throughout the therapeutic process.

Some of our therapists have lived experience of different cultures, languages, and migration journeys. This allows us to offer a welcoming and inclusive space where people from many backgrounds can feel seen, heard, and respected.
