About us

Dialogues Counselling Service delivers accessible and affordable counselling to anyone seeking it. Our aim is to offer adults and young people (16-19) in West Yorkshire the opportunity to meet weekly with a therapist and pay what they can afford. Our counsellors are from well established counselling & psychotherapy colleges and universities across the North of England. All are DBS checked, fully insured and keenly adhere to the ethics and principles of their professional membership organisations within counselling and psychotherapy. We all deeply care about our vocation and supporting others, it’s what we do best. Our therapists all have very individual skills, knowledge and experience and this is important as it means we are able to match our clients with the best possible therapist for them.

We are a flourishing non-profit organisation built on respect for difference and diversity. We reinvest all our profits into developing the service and offering subsidised therapy. Our therapists are registered members of the BACP at a minimum, are fully insured and have a current DBS certificate. We uphold the Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions in all our work.

We are dedicated to improving the emotional wellbeing of the Happy Valley community of Hebden Bridge and West Yorkshire.
