What to expect
Peer support is built around mutual understanding. You’ll meet others who “get it” because they’ve lived it too.
Depending on what feels right for you, you can join:
Peer Support Groups: Structured, self-help groups where you can share experiences, learn from others, and feel part of a community that understands.
1:1 Peer Support: A peer worker will meet with you individually to talk through challenges, explore coping strategies, and offer support from someone who’s been there.
Living Well Workshops: Practical sessions exploring topics such as:
- Managing stress
- Understanding anxiety
- Sleep and routine
- Confidence and boundaries
Co-facilitated by Peer Trainers with lived experience.
Social Peer Support: Friendly, informal activities including museum visits, walking groups, creative sessions, coffee meet-ups, and more.
Groups take place online and in person across London.
What people say about the service
These words capture what this service is all about: helping people feel seen, heard and less alone.
Lucy's story
“Having the peer support service makes you feel like you’re not on your own and not isolated. It’s a lifesaver.”
Lucy first joined Peer Support while grieving the loss of a family member and navigating work, health challenges, and anxiety.
Through group sessions and workshops, she found space to breathe, connect, and make sense of overwhelming emotions.
“There are times when I don’t feel able to come in person, but I can manage an online group. It’s so welcoming, whether you talk or just listen.”
Peer Support became a place where Lucy felt safe, understood, and never judged.
“It helps unravel your mind when everything feels like it’s spinning.”
