The centre in Upper Street, Islington says previously affluent middle class Londoners in metro-centric professions such as interior design are unable to cope with large mortgages and personal indebtedness as the newly-opened centre sees an average 70 distressed clients a day.
At the same time, Shelter Cymru in Wales says it is dealing with a huge increase in mortgage repossessions as employed and unemployed professionals struggle to keep their homes.
It said it is experiencing a doubling in calls from clients in work from 10 per cent in pre-recession 2006/7 to 23 per cent in 2010/11 and a 38 per cent increase in threatened homelessness.
