Stress Management, Counselling and Auditing

Stress is one of the most common reasons for sickness absence among non-manual workers. Early intervention is highly recommended every employing organisation has a duty of care to ensure that the working environment and systems of work are conducive to health and wellbeing and it is necessary to ensure that risk assessments for mental wellbeing are conducted as part of more generalised risk assessments. The Health & Safety Executive Stress Management Standards are recognised as the ‘Gold Star’ and are readily available on their website. Line Managers, Occupational Health professionals and EAP or counselling personnel all have a part to play in managing workplace stress.

Working with a national database of BACP-(Brittish Association of Counselors and Psychotherapists) registered stress counsellors, we can offer counselling programmes for individual employees, and stress awareness workshops for managers.
