Crossroads Counselling is a Christian faith-based organisation deeply rooted in our local community of Tower Hamlets.
Our vision is inspired by the text of Isaiah 61 - the Lord's message of freedom.
Our concern is for those people who feel trapped by the weight of their mental and emotional struggles.
Our aim is to help clients, through counselling, to face and understand the reasons for their mental and emotional difficulties and to change at the deepest level, increasing their sense of mental and emotional well-being.
