Here's more detail
The Brandon Centre
Brandon Centre is a place for young people to get help with personal problems from people who are professionally trained. The counselling and psychotherapy service is free and confidential. We currently accept referrals from those living within Camden or Islington. We see young people aged 16 – 24 who live in the boroughs of Camden or Islington.
You can refer yourself by telephoning, emailing or dropping into our Centre. Alternatively, you can be referred by someone else, for instance your GP. There are appointments Monday to Saturday, including early evening appointments on some days. The Centre is accessible for young people using wheelchairs.
- Mental Health & Therapeutic Support
What sort of problems can be helped through counselling and psychotherapy?
Young people ask us for help with all sorts of problems and difficulties, for example:
- bereavement
- being bullied
- feeling suicidal
- feeling isolated
- family problems
- feeling angry or violent
- self-harming
- sexual or emotional abuse
- feeling unhappy or depressed
- sexual or emotional relationship difficulties
- difficulties at school, college or work.
You do not need to wait until a problem is getting on top of you before you try counselling. Get in touch with us even if what is troubling you does not seem that serious as often it can be easier to resolve than if you leave it and it gets worse.
Brandon Centre also supports families of young people living in Greater London displaying a range of challenging behaviours. Our innovative Systemic Integrative Treatment (SIT) has been devised for families with complex problems and is a programme that runs for twelve months with very successful outcomes for young people and their families.

- Coaching & Wellbeing Support
BWell coaching comprises of one-to-one and group coaching sessions supporting 12 to 25-year-olds to improve their emotional wellbeing
Available now to 12 to 25-year-olds living in Camden and Islington
Solution-focused, strengths-based coaching that empowers young people to take ownership of their wellbeing
Available Monday to Friday to help young people deal with challenges that are impacting their day-to-day life, including low confidence and self-esteem, irregular sleep, relationship challenges, exam stress, or social anxiety.
It can be hard to concentrate on work after a bad night’s sleep, to maintain healthy relationships when your self-esteem needs a boost, or to get through a long list of tasks without the right skills.
BWell believes that every young person has the tools they need to manage their emotional challenges.
The coaching sessions help them gain resilience and understanding by setting specific goals and identifying the internal resources they need to achieve them.
