What is here
Leeds Mental Wellbeing Service offers NHS talking therapies for people aged 17 or over. You need to live in Leeds and have a Leeds GP.
You can refer yourself online or by phone. Some group classes accept direct bookings without a referral or assessment.
Peer Support Plus runs weekly groups online and in Leeds. Adults who live, work or study in Leeds Metropolitan District can apply. Contact the charity to book an introductory workshop before joining a group.
What it costs
NHS talking therapies and Peer Support Plus groups are free. The peer groups need advance booking.
Private therapists set their own fees. Ask about the full session cost and any reduced rates before you agree to start.
How ViaCara helps in Leeds
Tell us what you need and we will connect you with practitioners who work online, and with practitioners in Leeds as they join. The conversation is the same wherever you are.
An online session is a video or phone call at a time you choose. You do not need to travel, and you can change practitioner if the fit is wrong.
The UK Crisis Resources page lists people you can talk to at any hour.
Thanks for your interest. We're not taking on new clients at the moment.
