About ICC

A Brief History

The Inner City Centre has been a pioneer in the provision of accessible and affordable psychotherapy in the community since 1981.

It was founded by a psychoanalyst, Gillian Parker, and a small group of therapists trained at the Lincoln Centre. It offered low fee therapy to those who for financial or other reasons would not consider it available to them.

Based in the City and East London, and responsive to emerging social problems, the ICC was in the forefront of offering therapy to patients suffering from Aids as well as support groups for the professionals caring for them. It was one of the first psychotherapy organisations to pioneer the placing of therapists in GP surgeries and to recognise the extent of the effects of childhood sexual abuse.

As it has become increasingly well-known over the years, the ICC has expanded, to become a more diverse group of therapists, offering a comprehensive service across London, to all sections of the community, with a range of fees appropriate to the circumstances of the individual applicant.
