Employee Assistance Programmes

Providing counselling for staff working in the caring field can support individuals to work through work related stress; help increase retention rates and build individual resources. Counselling can also support staff to separate and resolve personal issues triggered in their work with clients.

Group Supervision and Professional Development

Providing supervision to staff working in the caring fields complements other organisational structures such as training, appraisals and line management supervision. Working in a group supports the development of relationships between group members. Other benefits include:-

Protecting staff from work related stress, burnout and compassion fatigue. This can reduce staff sickness rates
Facilitate the dealing of conflict resolution between individuals
Provide a confidential space for staff to share work based issues and look for solutions to problems
Client supervision to support the development of their work
Protecting staff from over empathising with their clients
Development of skills
