How Anchor Counselling Helps

Anchor Counselling works in partnership with Hammersmith and Fulham Foodbank. We provide foodbank clients free confidential counselling sessions with trained and experienced therapists. Our aim is to offer support that will help foodbank clients feel better, improve resilience, and begin to get back on their feet again. 

If you are a client who uses Hammersmith and Fulham Foodbank and would like to arrange a counselling appointment (or ask on behalf of someone you know who uses the foodbank), you can either speak ask one of the volunteers there to put your name forward, or send an email to [email protected] including your name, address, phone number and the reference ‘HFF.’ Anchor Counselling will contact you back within one working day. You can also leave a message by phoning 020 8867 7660.
