Womankind supports women in the Bristol area with professional counselling, group psychotherapy, befriending and a helpline service.
Womankind is an established charity that is run by women for women.
We help hundreds of women every year to improve their mental health and well-being so they can experience a better quality of life.
We recognise that the roots of our difficulties are often linked to personal life histories. We also recognise that the social and political environment in which we live affects our mental health.
It’s not always easy to ask for help but we would encourage you to not suffer in silence as talking to someone about your problems and how you feel can really help.
We will work with you to understand your situation and can help you think things through so you get the support you need.
We can help you to find your own voice, to express yourself and think about what’s happened.
Womankind takes your privacy seriously. Click here to read our Privacy Policy which sets out how we use your information.
