One to One sessions for individuals.
Private and Corporate
I help individuals to cope with and subsequently find a way of dealing with their stress, anxiety or depression, whilst continuing to work. For those signed off, I help them to return to work sooner whilst managing their situations.
For the Business Owner -
As you can see from the BBC's info-gram's there's a strong likelihood that some of your employee's will be on medication to help them cope day to day. Another major factor for businesses to consider along with work-related stress is the state of mind an employee turns up with. Whilst their stress may not be work-related, if it affects their work or performance at work then the business owner should seriously consider providing support. Under performing employees pose a huge unbudgeted cost the business communities!
Early intervention is key, failure to pick up on the signs and symptoms as they develop, could mean that the first time you are made aware is when they are signed off long-term sick.
We are committed to help your business thrive.
Wellness Coaching – helping employees through difficult times and teaching them how to deal with day to day stresses and develop resilience.
Whilst both graphics are quite scary, it is clear to see where most of our issues start from. We will all have some inherited traits but our experiences as we grow up will without doubt affect us in later life. Two simple examples that I come across all the time are; children who were made fun of who may have struggled to grasp certain things and told that they were stupid and would never amount to much. And children whose parent were overly pushy, they set extremely high standards that either the children felt undue pressure to achieve or were rewarded for everything and now expect praise for just breathing!
Your ROI is improved performance, employees that are less likely to be signed off, short or long-term sick. Quicker return to work should they need to be signed off.
Never underestimate the power of loyalty, the more you do for your employee's the more they'll do for you.
These sessions are specifically designed around each individual to gain the best results possible.
The first meeting will be to establish the connection which will then develop trust and honesty to be able to give the best outcome for both the employee and the company.
“It's more cost effective to keep your employees, rather than to keep replacing them or paying sick pay and someone else to do their work!”
For the Employee–
It can be hard to admit to being stressed at work, through fear that your employer or colleagues will think less of you. But stress can happen to anyone and it’s not a sign that you’re weak. Good employers will be aware of stress-related issues and many have policies in place to help deal with them.
Sometimes the best stress-reducer is simply sharing your stress with someone who is not a close friend or family member or even a work colleague, but a qualified therapist who has the skills to support you.
I provide a non-judgemental approach in my support for you, allowing you to discuss your issue in a safe environment. I will help you to get your life back on track without the stigma that is sometimes attached to visiting a counsellor.
I come from a corporate background which enables me to understand the pressure of working in a company, large or small and can support you with techniques that you can use now and in the future.
For the Individual -
I also see individuals outside of work who are looking for support with their mental wellbeing. I have a number of locations that I use that are both private and welcoming.
My wealth of experience and training have helped me to improve the day to day life of numerous people to date, there are a number of testimonials on this site and others that I can show you where you will see the success that I have had.
I take a very practical approach to your wellness, this may well be different to everything you believed about counselling or have experienced in the past.
If you are ready to take the first step back to a healthy you get in touch, you're worth it.
