Workplace counselling in South Yorkshire
Confidential counselling support for employees: helping your people stay well, manage pressure, and return to work with confidence.
When a member of staff is struggling, a few sessions of good support make a real difference, to them and to the team around them. I work with employers to provide confidential counselling for employees, usually in blocks of six to eight sessions.
When your team is under pressure
- Absence levels are rising and you're not sure why
- A member of staff is struggling after a difficult event
- You've identified stress-related issues but lack in-house support
- You want to offer more than just signposting
Practical, confidential staff support
Workplace counselling gives employees a confidential space to address what's affecting their performance and wellbeing. Sessions are usually arranged in blocks of 6–8, billed directly to the employer at £80 per session. What's discussed stays confidential, within the limits set out in the counselling agreement. I report only on attendance.
Counselling offers support and space to work things through. It isn't a medical treatment or a quick fix.

Questions people ask
What is an employee assistance programme?
An employee assistance programme (EAP) is a service an employer pays for so staff can get confidential support. It often includes a set number of counselling sessions. I take referrals through EAPs. If your employer has one, ask your HR team or the EAP provider how to use it.
Is counselling through work confidential?
Yes. Your employer may pay, but what we talk about stays between us, within the standard limits I explain before we begin. Your employer doesn't hear what we discuss.
Can my employer pay for my counselling?
Yes. Employers can pay directly, usually for a block of sessions, or through an EAP. The workplace rate is £80 per 50-minute session.
Is it only for problems at work?
No. People bring whatever is affecting them: stress at work, a bereavement, relationship problems, anxiety. Often it's a mix.
