Leeds Alliance of Counselling Agencies
"Developing and Delivering Counselling and Therapy in the Voluntary Sector"
Please contact us if you would like to join the Alliance of Counselling Agencies.
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.
The ACA has now established itself as a significant support and development network for 16 voluntary sector counselling provider agencies.
The ACA has produced a booklet listing all voluntary sector counselling and psychotherapy organisations in Leeds. Download the ACA booklet (PDF, 108KB).
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. Leeds Mind, Archway, Women's Health Matters, 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).
Three Volition members are members of the consortium delivering the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service in Leeds. Download the IAPT leaflet (PDF, 740KB).
