Mother Tongue
Mothertongue is a culturally sensitive, professional counselling and listening service where people are heard with respect in their chosen language. The charity offers holistic support to people and professional development to staff and volunteers from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities.
The language support offered, in partnership with agencies such as The Citizen’s Advice Bureau, can, for some, be the difference between settling well and integrating productively, or getting into severe difficulties.
They have accredited professional counsellors who speak a minimum of two languages, a team of multi-lingual cross-cultural volunteers who deliver support to clients.
Counselling and practical language support is offered in over twenty languages and can offer support in other languages through trained and culturally sensitive interpreters. The BACP accredits only the counselling provision within our service and not our other activities.
