Women’s Counselling and Therapy Service (WCTS) has been supporting women and girls in Leeds since 1982. We offer a wide range of mental health services, including free or low-cost psychotherapy, community initiatives, and educational programmes designed to help the most marginalised individuals.
Our service is staffed entirely by women and works exclusively with women and families, providing a safe, supportive, and sensitive environment. We welcome women from every section of the Leeds community, with a particular commitment to inclusion and anti-racist practice. Around one third of our clients are from the BAME community, and we can provide interpreters as needed.
What we offer:
- Free or low-cost counselling and psychotherapy for women and girls
- Community and educational initiatives to support wellbeing
- Specialised counselling and casework
- Support for women from diverse backgrounds, including BAME communities
- Expertise in issues affecting different ethnic, cultural, and economic groups
Our goals:

- Provide trusted, relevant, and effective psychotherapeutic services
- Build holistic support by collaborating with other organisations
- Ensure a sustainable service for future generations
