More and more employers of all sizes are prioritising the health and wellbeing of their staff. Whether you are 100+ employees or less than ten, investing precious time and money into mental health in the workplace is critical to the success of your organisation.
If you already have an existing EAP provider, our services are designed to complement and run alongside that by uniquely offering local, in-person, highly skilled trainers and consultancy as well as confidential face-to-face counselling. For emergency and critical incidents (such as death by suicide or sudden or traumatic events in the workplace) we offer a Critical Incident Debrief session for affected staff within 48 hours.
Our own bespoke Employee Assistance Programme can be tailored to your company’s exact needs. You’ll deal with a real consultant or trainer dedicated to your organisation – not an off the shelf, one size fits all, impersonal approach from some global EAP.
It is designed to provide support, offer advice, give appropriate referral in times of crisis and provide high quality online or in person counselling. We offer:
A helpline providing routine forwarding to a counselling referral, crisis support and advice and support for managers
All counsellors are members of the professional body, The British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists and offer the highest levels of professionalism and care
Counsellors and Psychotherapists trained and experienced in a range of types of therapy, not just CBT, so we can provide your employees with the most appropriate type of therapy suited to them.
Face to face or online counselling sessions
Monthly invoicing and reporting
Support for your internal staff communications to ensure good engagement

A Critical Incidents is an event or series of events that occur within the workplace environment or because of the workplace. A critical incident is experienced as shocking, threatening or traumatic by those involved and can range from experiencing or witnessing violence at work, persistent workplace bullying through to the sudden death of a colleague or death by suicide. It can also be trauma experienced by first responders, healthcare providers or those in education or caring professions.
A critical incident debrief is a group meeting that is a structured and directive protocol delivered by a trained mental health professional. It is not counselling nor is it group therapy. The purpose of the debrief is to promote successful processing and management of psychological after-effects of trauma.
The group meeting reviews the memories, impressions and reactions that survivors, bereaved or helpers have experienced. It is an effective method for mitigating post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic stress disorder from developing. It follows a set of ethical values built on fairness and equality.

An average of 18 million working days are lost to mental health problems in the UK. And mental health conditions account for 8% of sickness absence. In addition, 1 in 7 people experience mental health problems in the workplace and mental health presenteeism, where employees show up but do not work effectively, is also on the rise. As well as having a significant financial impact, there can also be an impact on company culture and resilience across the organisation. Poor mental health among employees costs UK employers between £53bn and £56bn each year according to Deloitte.
However, the good news – research also by Deloitte shows that measures by employers to improve the mental health of their employees will yield a return on investment average of £5 for every £1 spent, with early intervention providing the best rate of return.
