COUNSELLING
Workplace counselling is an employee support intervention that is usually short term in nature and provides an independent, specialist resource for people working across all sectors and in all working environments. Giving all employees access to a free, confidential, workplace counselling service could potentially be viewed as part of an employer’s duty of care.
The counselling process provides a sounding board for an employee, giving them a safe place to talk about issues that trouble them, and allowing counsellors to help them find their own solutions to problems or develop better ways to manage issues. It is not about giving advice, but about providing a non-judgmental, empathic and accessible means to allow an employee to find a way forward.
Example Issues Covered:
• Stress, anxiety and depression
• Workplace relationships
• Harassment and bullying
• Career problems
