With eight years of corporate experience before becoming a counsellor, Cristina, the founder and therapist, understands the challenges employees and managers face and has a special passion for helping businesses thrive. She has worked for various digital marketing companies in both London and Edinburgh. Her experience as a corporate employee and manager leading teams, combined with her knowledge and experience as a therapist, equips her with the skills, understanding, and empathy to assist companies and their employees in overcoming their difficulties.
A high percentage of people will need therapy at some point in their lives. This also applies to many employees who deal with daily deadline pressures, excessively high expectations from themselves or others, perfectionism, lack of motivation, procrastination, competition with colleagues, lack of confidence, impostor syndrome, poor communication with teammates, burnout, and more. Furthermore, employees must contend with life’s challenges outside of work, such as relationship problems, financial difficulties, life transitions, and changes, to name a few. All of these factors can impact productivity at work. Someone struggling psychologically, whether it is depression, anxiety, or any other issue, may experience reduced focus or the ability to complete tasks efficiently and with high quality, ultimately affecting the business.
Psychological issues, unattended, rarely go away on their own and often counselling is needed to improve staff’ wellbeing and mental health.
Company counselling can have additional benefits, in addition to fostering thriving employees, boosting productivity, and cultivating healthier corporate environments. In a world where mental health has become increasingly important, companies that care about their staff and offer them counselling are highly regarded. As a result, businesses that include therapy as part of the staff’s benefits are more attractive to potential future employees.
We have an easy and cost-effective solution to support your employees’ mental health, with pay-as-you-go sessions, where you only pay for the sessions your employees need. If you are looking for an alternative to an employee assistance program scheme or a complementary option to improve your current program, we can help.
The sessions take place in our rooms located in Edinburgh, United Kingdom (see location) or online. Some companies might prefer us to go to their offices. This could be agreed depending on the location of the offices and the number of staff requiring counselling. Contact us, and we can find a way to make it work.
