Responsible employers realise that their employees are their most important asset. Your staff’s emotional or psychological problems can negatively impact their performance. Therefore, it is in your organisation’s interest to provide psychological support for your staff to return to optimal functioning as soon as possible and cost-effectively. The Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974 gives employers a duty of care for mental and physical health. A standard law duty of care is to look after your employees, including stress at work. I can help optimise your staff productivity for a small investment in counselling.

I am a fully trained Counsellor and Psychotherapist and hold accredited membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS) membership, ensuring that these organisations’ codes of ethics bind me. I also attend regular clinical supervision and hold professional indemnity insurance. I use effective methods for rapidly helping people overcome such issues as anxiety, depression, stress, phobias and anger.
I understand the needs of staff working in a pressurised environment. As I am solely responsible for the counselling service, there is no bureaucratic structure, which cuts out many of the high costs often associated with national counselling schemes. The result is a local, flexible service that meets the needs of businesses and organisations at the right price.
Can I opt-in and out of this service?
Yes, I have a simple, fixed charge per session. You do not need to sign an annual contract. You can simply call or email me, and I will immediately arrange counselling for your staff.
Is counselling confidential?
In line with ethical requirements, I will not share counselling content with an employer so that employees can talk freely.
Where will the counselling take place?
I provide counselling at my consulting room on Rodney Street, central Liverpool, or via secure video software. The premises are private, quiet and comfortable.
How quickly can you book an initial consultation?
You can usually book an initial consultation within a week.
How much does Corporate Counselling for individuals cost?
£95 for 50 minutes.
How many sessions are required?
Usually, eight sessions are sufficient to resolve or significantly impact many problems, ensuring that you know the maximum cost of treatment in advance. If a staff member requires more than eight sessions, they are welcome to continue with counselling by paying for it themselves.
