Referrals
NEW REFERRALS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED
Due to high demand, we are sorry to say that we are currently not accepting new referrals from asylum seeking, trafficked and refugee clients. We will re-open our referral list as soon as we are able to. We have no statutory funding; we rely on donations from individuals and trusts.
If you are an adult asylum seeker and need immediate support, please contact the Home Office-funded BOLOH helpline, open Monday – Friday (10am-8pm); Saturday (10-3pm)
Phone: 0800 151 260
Email: Boloh.helpline@barnardos.org.uk.
You can also chat with them via the website here.

1-1 counselling and psychotherapy or art therapy group
When open, the organisations listed below can refer to us.
Please look at the criteria for referral held by your link worker for TFSW before completing the form below. If you are not a referral partner, please first refer to one of the organisations above, who will then be able to refer on to us.
TFSW offers refugees and asylum seekers free, specialised, long-term psychotherapy and counselling in Bristol. Unfortunately, we are not currently able to accept referrals for clients in Bath or anywhere else in the South West.
Please note, although we do our best to see clients for an initial session soon after referral, we do have a waiting list and are not a front-line crisis service.
We try to be as accessible as possible; we provide interpreters and can see clients both in person and remotely.
