Professional counselling is increasingly being used to support and sustain an effective and motivated workforce.

Counselling supports employees’ mental health and emotional well-being with a resulting increase in personal awareness and self-efficacy.

An integrated counselling programme will help:

• Reduce short-term absence
• Improve workforce morale
• Improve staff retention
• Increase staff motivation and productivity
• Develop a flexible and empowered workforce
• Develop new skills and coping strategies to deal with issues.

Experienced and specialist counsellors are available to provide counselling on a one-to-one basis for issues such as:

• General personal issues
• Depression
• Stress and anxiety
• Bullying and harassment
• Anger
• Bereavement
• Redundancy
• Alcohol or Drug concerns
• Relationship concerns
• Domestic violence
• Cross-Cultural issues (available with or without an interpreter)

Critical Incident Counselling supports individuals involved with a major incident or accident. Critical Incident Counselling provides the opportunity to explore and diffuse the impact of the trauma on individuals.

All counsellors work within professionally ethical guidelines and use a counselling approach to support clients' needs best.
