Workplace Welfare Counselling & Employee Support
Personal, professional counselling for your employees — without the complexity of a traditional EAP.
Human support. Professional counselling. Simple access
I offer employers a straightforward way to provide professional therapeutic support to their employees without needing to purchase a full Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
A Strong Existing
Foundation
My experience working within the corporate sector has included supporting staff in care homes and in a health insurance company. In both settings, where the employees have self-referred through their manager, or have been encouraged to consider counselling, I have found that individuals who might not ordinary seek help have found it to be incredibly valuable. Providing accessible confidential support within the workplace can create an opportunity for staff to address difficulties earlier, gain greater self awareness and develop practical tools to support their wellbeing, both professionally and personally.
Why This
Works
This service provides personal, consistent therapeutic support rather than an anonymous call-centre model.
-
Employees can self-refer directly for counselling.
-
Support can cover both work and personal issues.
-
Flexible online and face-to-face counselling.
-
A simple service that works particularly well for small and medium-sized businesses.
-
A tax efficient employee benefit.
-
I'm also happy to come into your workplace to meet your team and introduce myself.

Testimonials
“As a private medical insurance brokerage, our employees already have access to an Employee Assistance Programme and private healthcare that includes mental health support. However, these services do not always provide the speed, continuity or personal relationship that someone may need. We therefore invited Christine to work alongside the business, offering our employees confidential support with workplace stress, personal challenges or anything else that might be affecting their wellbeing.
Her role is not simply to provide counselling—although that support is available when appropriate. It is about giving our people quick access to someone they can trust, before a difficult period begins to affect their health, attendance or ability to perform at their best.
Christine has now worked with us for around eight months, and the results have been remarkable. Several members of our team have benefited significantly from speaking with her. We have seen improvements in wellbeing, attendance, confidence, performance and the quality of work being produced.
Working with Christine has also supported the culture we want to create. It shows our employees that their wellbeing genuinely matters to us and that, when someone is struggling, our first instinct is to help them. We believe this has contributed positively to engagement and retention—we have not lost a member of staff we wanted to retain in the past 18 months.
Christine’s work has delivered a significant return for the business, but its value goes far beyond the financial results. She has made a genuine difference to individual employees and to our company as a whole. We cannot recommend her highly enough and now regard the support she provides as an important and lasting part of how we look after our people."

How It Works:
01.
Employer chooses the type of package, either open-ended or a finite number of sessions to be offered to employees.
02.
Employees are given clear information about the service and how to self-refer.
03.
Employees arrange counselling directly with Christine.
04.
Sessions take place online and/or face-to-face, depending on the agreed service.
05.
Counselling remains confidential, subject to normal professional, safeguarding and risk
requirements.
06.
The employer receives only appropriate anonymised utilisation information, if agreed.
Confidentiality
There is a clear separation between therapeutic work and the employer. Employers do not receive information about what an employee discusses in counselling, their diagnosis or the content of sessions. Any reporting is limited to agreed, anonymised service-use information, with normal professional and safeguarding exceptions clearly explained.
