Counselling can often be an important first step for many employees seeking support, which gives the opportunity to discuss and explore problems in complete confidence with an experienced professional.

Counselling under this scheme provides short term solution focused counselling to assist employees in the identification and resolution of employee concerns such as personal or work related matters, which affect or may affect performance. This approach is used effectively to treat a wide range of stress related issues which may be linked to the work-place or the domestic situation. For example:

• stress
• bullying
• racial and sexual harassment
• financial problems
• bereavement
• domestic violence
• redundancy

This enables organisations to:

• Reduce absenteeism
• Enhance productivity
• Alleviate stress
• Boost staff morale
• Free up management time
