What is corporate counselling?

Corporate counselling and therapy can take many forms but is generally a process by which employees are able to access mental health services, from CBT and bereavement counselling to executive coaching and much more. It can be a very important part of the overall wellbeing processes for a business with many benefits to staff and the organisation as a whole.

Bereavement counselling for businesses

Bereavement can have a huge impact on the emotional and psychological wellbeing of a person. The death of a loved one – whether a parent, a partner or, unthinkably, a child – is an experience no one can be fully prepared to deal with. However, alongside this, it is something we will all experience at some point in our lives – grief through bereavement, which is the universal leveller. The feelings associated with grief are similar to the feelings of depression, and it can make continuing with normal tasks, such as going to work, a huge struggle.

Common corporate mental health issues

The modern workplace can be a very stressful place. Sales targets, revenue goals, working relationships with other team members and workload can all be factors that cause a range of issues. Stress is common, but stress can often lead to other issues including depression and anxiety. The pressure to achieve on a personal level and dealing with promotion related concerns can also play a very big role in the mental health of anyone in the organisation. Businesses must also be aware of personal issues around money and relationships, family deaths and more, while they may not be a business or work issue they can have a huge impact on the individual and the business as a result. Counselling for business is becoming more and more common and for good reason.

Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress, anger issues, addiction and obsessive behaviours are all common in the workplace and can all have a serious impact on individuals, people who work alongside them and the business as a whole. We are able to offer corporate counselling and therapy services to businesses to allow them to support their staff and help improve their mental health as well as deal with crisis issues.

Why is staff mental health important?

Companies are far more reliant on the mental wellbeing of their staff than many realise. When a member of a team is in crisis or suffering long term chronic issues like anxiety it can have a profound impact on the business. The individual’s performance will be impaired, they may avoid certain situations like a sales pitch when they would otherwise have won the business. Depression, for example, can lead to long periods off work, it may prevent some team members working together in a productive way and so damages productivity in the organisation. Often mental health issues can lead to other behaviours, anger issues in the workplace can not only affect the individual suffering but also those around them, which in turn can lead to further mental health issues.

Corporate mental health is as, if not more, important than physical health when it comes to looking after staff and running a functioning business. We offer workplace and employee counselling services as well as more in-depth services around psychotherapy.
