Moving to a new country or city is never easy
New faces. New systems. A different language. And often… no one to talk to.
If you’re new to Peterborough – or even new to the UK – you may be feeling overwhelmed. Maybe life isn’t how you thought it would be. Maybe you feel like you don’t belong here, or like no one understands you.
You may even be feeling low, lost, or depressed. If that’s you, we want to say something very simple and very true:
You are seen and there is hope.
STARTING OVER IS HARD
Many people come to Peterborough for a better future – for work, family, education, or safety but when you arrive, it’s not always easy. You may be facing:
It’s not weak to feel this way. These struggles are real, but they are not the end of your story.
There Is a Place for You Here
At New Life, we meet many people who are new to this area. Some have just arrived in the U.K. and there are others who have lived here for a while yet still feel like outsiders. Sadly, many people are quietly struggling but we want you to know that you are welcome to this city, and our team would love to offer you support and prayer as you settle in.
Some people feel shy to talk because their English isn’t perfect. We understand how this might feel and so we are very patient. You don’t need to speak well or have everything together, you just need to show up and we will do our best for you.
You can even bring a trusted friend or family member to help explain or you can send us an email. There is always a way to connect and there is always someone here to listen.

New Life is a Christian coaching and counselling service based in Peterborough. You don’t have to be religious to come because many of the people we help are not Christians. We welcome everyone.
Our team includes people from different backgrounds—many of us understand what it’s like to be new, to feel out of place, or to struggle emotionally. We offer:
If you’re feeling lost, hurt, or unsure what to do next, we invite you to reach out. You can ask for a free callback and someone from our friendly team will call you to talk – or just listen. No pressure. No cost. Just support.
