Workplace Counselling can boost the emotional wellbeing, self-esteem and productivity of employees.

Sometimes life presents us with challenging situations that leave us feeling overwhelmed. Work may be the cause of these problems, or our performance at work may suffer because of them. Either way, talking, offloading and exploring issues with a specialist workplace counsellor can have huge benefits.

At CrossReach we offer a dedicated Workplace Counselling programme called Confidential Conversations.

If you’re an employee, Confidential Conversations offers you a way to access professional and impartial counselling in a neutral, private setting. You can choose weekly one-to-one counselling sessions or external supervision.

If you’re an employer, Confidential Conversations helps you to fulfil your responsibility to look after the health and wellbeing of your staff. It can be offered as part of a wider Employment Assistance Programme (EAP).

Want to know more about counselling, costs or getting started?

Confidential Conversations are unable to offer face-to-face appointments for now but we are otherwise operating our usual service remotely.
