The Compassion Collective

We believe everyone deserves accessible, empathetic mental health support. We aim to provide affordable and accessible counselling to the communities in the Aire and Worth Valley. Whether you're facing financial hardship, working as a carer, or simply need someone to talk to, we're here to help.
We understand the long waiting lists and financial strain that can come with seeking mental health services. In the Keighley area alone, the average waiting time is 45 days, with some waiting up to 251 days for complex cases.
We're committed to offering counselling sessions starting as low as £25 per session, ensuring that mental health support is within reach for everyone.
Caring for others can be emotionally draining. We're also keen to support for carers—both paid and unpaid. We are also keen to work with a range of local organisations supporting health and mental health services in the local community, the principal being stronger and better together.
We provide affordable, accessible one-on-one counselling for individuals facing mental health challenges.
Many face barriers to getting the help they require, whether due to ineligibility for free services, long waiting lists, busy schedules, or other constraints. Our counsellors go at the clients pace, offering personalised support.
We also recognise the unique needs of paid and unpaid carers, providing counselling to alleviate stress and promote well-being.
Our mission is to make quality mental health support available to all, empowering clients to overcome challenges and live more fulfilling lives, regardless of their personal circumstances.
Accessible Pricing Model:
To ensure our counselling services are available to all, we offer a pay-what-you-can sliding scale from £25 to £50 per session. This flexible model allows clients to access the support they need based on their individual financial circumstance
Our dedicated team will work closely with each client to and review their unique needs on a regular basis.

So what does counselling entail?

At The True North Collective, we believe in making mental health support accessible, affordable, and approachable for everyone. While we have a strong focus on supporting men—who are often hesitant to seek help—our counselling services are open to all. With flexible hours Monday to Saturday, we also aim to accommodate working people and carers with busy schedules.

How to access support

There are several ways to access our services: through referrals from our peer support groups and workshops, local GPs, social prescribing services, or directly via our website.
