About us

 V.L.A.D. Outreach CIC is a community-driven initiative focused on supporting anyone who might feel overlooked or underserved, including gamers, individuals with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), older and bedbound people, the homeless, those affected by addiction, and refugees. While our primary focus is on members of hard-to-reach communities, our services is open to everyone in need of support.

At V.L.A.D. Outreach, we believe that mental health care should be accessible to all, regardless of background or circumstances. Our mission is to provide compassionate, person-centred support that is tailored to each individual’s unique needs. Our services include evidence-based therapies such as person-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Gestalt counselling, alongside peer mentoring, all aimed at empowering you to manage your mental health and well-being. Everything we provide is free or donation-based, ensuring that cost will never be a barrier to accessing support.

We are committed to creating a welcoming, non-judgemental space where everyone, regardless of their background or challenges, can find the help they need. Whether you seek immediate support or long-term guidance, V.L.A.D. Outreach will be there for you - whenever they need us.

Member organisations *

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
