Leeds Alliance of Counselling Agencies
"Developing and Delivering Counselling and Therapy in the Voluntary Sector"
The Alliance of Counselling Agencies (ACA) was set up in Leeds in the early 1990s as an informal support group for voluntary sector counselling agencies.

Members of the ACA include the following types of organisation:
- organisations that exclusively provide counselling (e.g. Leeds Counselling, Womens Counselling and Therapy Service)
- organisations that have a project that delivers counselling (e.g. Yorkshire Mesmac, Barca, St Vincent's) as part of a larger organisation
- organisations that do not deliver counselling but have an interest in developing counselling services (e.g. Leeds Bereavement Forum)
- organisations that provide a listening, rather than a counselling service, although some workers providing the support are qualified counsellors (e.g. Person to Person).
