Workplace mental health

See how we can help

Our Workplace Mental Health team works with organisations of various sizes to help them create psychologically safe workplaces that prioritise wellbeing.

Our Workplace Mental Health team is here to support and guide your organisation in building a culture at work that encourages and promotes both understanding and management of mental health.

We know no two workplaces are the same, which is why our programmes including mental health training and mental health champions are delivered uniquely to your needs to equip colleagues with the knowledge and tools they need to support both their own, and their team’s mental health at work.

What we do

Therapeutic Coaching

Four in five small business owners tell us they’re experiencing poor mental health. Therapeutic coaching is an innovative blend of counselling and coaching designed to help you to reach your potential as a small business owner or leader whilst considering the impact on your mental health. Our coaches are qualified with a background in mental health support so are uniquely placed to help you work through any challenges you may be facing.

Facilitated Group Peer Support

Support employees in high-stress roles or supportive roles with regular group sessions with our trained therapists. Our facilitated sessions provide a safe and welcoming environment for colleagues to chat in small groups and receive tools and knowledge to equip them for the future.

Mental health training

Mental health training at work should be viewed as equal to first-aid training. Our dedicated training team can support colleagues in understanding mental health conditions and equipping them with tools and guidance to support their wellbeing at work.
