Employee Counselling

Our Solution-focused employee counselling (workplace counselling) is a therapeutic intervention designed to help employees find solutions rather than focusing on problems. It is goal-oriented and leverages employees' strengths and resources to create positive change, concentrating on present and future goals rather than past issues.

Employee Counselling

In the UK, mental health conditions, including stress, depression, and anxiety, account for approximately 25% of all lost working time. This highlights the importance of addressing mental health in the workplace to reduce absenteeism and support employee well-being.

Our employee counselling services (workplace counselling) provide solution-focused interventions delivered by a team of qualified therapists, offering actionable strategies employees can apply immediately to address their challenges. As part of our workplace mental health support, our goal-oriented approach also emphasizes individuals’ strengths and resources, fostering a positive mindset and helping individuals build confidence—often missed in more traditional counselling models.

Solution-focused counselling supports better health outcomes, leading to reduced absenteeism and improved employee well-being, resulting in a genuine return on investment.

What Does Employee Counselling Involve?

Solution-focused employee counselling services (workplace counselling) involve several key elements:

  • Goal Setting: Identifying specific, achievable goals that the client wants to reach.
  • Strengths and Resources: Focusing on the client’s existing strengths and resources to help achieve these goals.
  • Future Orientation: Concentrating on the present and future rather than delving into past issues.
  • Miracle Question: Asking clients to envision how their life would be different if their problems were resolved, to help clarify goals and solutions.
  • Scaling Questions: Using scales (e.g., 1 to 10) to assess the client’s current situation and progress towards their goals.
  • Exception Seeking: Identifying times when the problem did not occur or was less severe, to find effective strategies that can be applied more broadly.
  • Brief and Time-Limited: Typically involves a limited number of sessions, focusing on rapid and practical solutions.

These elements are central to providing effective employee counselling services (workplace counselling) that empower employees to address their challenges in a constructive and focused manner, as part of comprehensive workplace mental health support.
