Welcome to the Mothertongue website
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.
We have accredited professional counsellors who speak a minimum of two languages, a team of multi-lingual cross-cultural volunteers who deliver support to clients.
We deliver counselling and practical language support in over twenty languages and can offer support in other languages through trained and culturally sensitive interpreters.
