Alliance Psychological Services

Alliance Psychological Services Alliance is the leading independent provider of mental health services across Teesside.

Alliance Psychological Services (formerly PACT) has been delivering services since 1999 and was incorporated as a Limited Company in 2004. Initially working across a number of Stockton GP practices, delivering primary care counselling services, our first workplace contracts were awarded to us in 2003 when we started delivering employee support services which now extend across the North East. In 2005 we began to offer our very first services to children and young people. From 2007 our involvement with the national Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme meant our services grew significantly across Teesside. The award of Targeted Mental Health in Schools (TaMHS) Contracts enabled us to extend the delivery of support to children and families in schools across Stockton. We are now approved to deliver primary care psychological therapy services across Teesside on behalf of the NHS, work in over 60 primary schools, secondary schools and academies and have a portfolio of contracts for Workplace Services covering Local Authorities, NHS Foundation Trusts and a range of private and charitable organisations. In 2014-15 we provided services for over 6000 children, young people and adults.

⏰ Last chance to sign up

Change is happening, and how it’s communicated matters.

If resistance is showing up as silence, withdrawal or frustration…
If managers are unsure what to say (or how to say it)…
If change feels heavier than it needs to…

This is your final chance to join our monthly awareness session: Managing Change Inclusively

In just 30 minutes, we’ll cover:

✨ Why change creates anxiety and resistance
✨ How unclear communication increases cognitive load
✨ What managers can say when they don’t have all the answers
✨ Simple, inclusive shifts that make change feel safer for everyone

This is a practical, light and human session, designed for real workplaces, real people and real change.

Ideal for managers, leaders and teams navigating:
• Restructures
• New systems
• Policy or process changes
• Shifting priorities
• Team or cultural change

⏳ Time is running out to watch the session, unless you’re signed up to Alliance Hub where you can access the session after February at any time.

Last year, our colleagues proudly chose Teesside Hospice as our Charity of the Year, and together we raised just over £1,000 to support their vital work 💜

Recently, members of our Health and Wellbeing Group had the privilege of visiting the hospice to see first-hand the incredible care and compassion they provide to people and families across our community.

A huge thank you to Julie, Hassan and the Teesside Hospice Team for the warm welcome and insightful tour.

Confidence can be a powerful voice 💬

When people feel supported to believe in themselves, they’re more likely to speak up, share their thoughts, and know that what they say truly matters.

Sometimes the most supportive thing you can offer is patience 💛

Everyone processes things differently, and it’s okay to take time before putting feelings into words. Creating a safe, pressure-free space can make all the difference.

Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day 💛

It’s the perfect opportunity to show the people around us that we care.

We often hear resistance doesn’t always look like pushback.

Sometimes it shows up as silence.
Withdrawal.
Frustration.
People disengage, not because they don’t care, but because change feels confusing, unsafe or overwhelming.

When uncertainty is high and communication isn’t clear, resistance becomes a protective response.

That’s exactly what Managing Change Inclusively is designed to address.
Our monthly 30-minute awareness session helps managers and employees understand why resistance shows up this way, and what actually reduces it.

In the session, we explore:
✨ How change increases cognitive load and anxiety
✨ Why people shut down when they don’t feel informed or included
✨ Small communication shifts that build safety and clarity
✨ How inclusive approaches reduce resistance for everyone (not just neurodivergent colleagues)

👉 Sign up to our monthly awareness session and start managing resistance with understanding, not pressure.
