Ealing Abbey Counselling Service (EACS) is an established registered charity which offers confidential, professional help and a range of skills to meet the needs of our clients, without discrimination. We are a non denominational service - our counsellors and clients come from a range of backgrounds, cultures and belief systems. Our office and counselling rooms are on the first and second floor of a converted Victorian building and accessed via side fire escape stairs.
We have limited use of a ground floor annexe to the rear of the building for those requiring disabled access. The Service was founded in 1994 and has developed from a small beginning of seven founder members into one of the largest voluntary sector counselling and psychotherapy providers in London. We have around 85 practitioners, most of whom are volunteer counsellors, psychotherapists and counselling psychologists who are at an advanced training stage.
Some of our volunteer practitioners continue to offer their services at EACS post qualification and training.

We occasionally are able to offer two assessor placements a year to counsellors already at EACS who would like the opportunity to broaden their experience while also earning a nominal remuneration.
Placement assessors are part of the assessors team which currently comprises 5 qualified practitioners.
We have up to 19 supervision groups offering monthly support to our placement counsellors.
The groups are eclectic, with both counsellors and supervisors coming from a variety of training modalities.
