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 practical support offered, again in many languages, can, for new arrivals to the UK, 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 support workers and volunteers who deliver support to clients.

We deliver counselling and practical support in over twenty languages and can offer support in other languages through trained and culturally sensitive interpreters.
