East Belfast Community Counselling Centre was created to help fulfill a need in the local community, to provide a vitally-needed counselling service for adults who might otherwise be excluded because of finance or shortfall in service provision. Prior to the service being set up in 2010 there was no other dedicated counseling services in East Belfast, apart from counseling offered by local churches.

As a charity we believe that everyone should have access to high quality counselling irrespective of their ability to pay.
The counselling service is open to anyone regardless of whether they are male or female, whatever their sexual orientation, ethnic origin, culture or religion, so long as we feel their needs can be met.

East Belfast Community Counselling Centre is a Registered Charity, we work for the benefit of the community.

East Belfast Community Counselling Centre is an Organisational Accredited Member of BACP.

The service adheres to the BACP Ethical Framework for Good practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and Professional Conduct procedure.
