More than 40% of all working time lost by employees is attributable to mental health problems, which costs UK businesses an estimated 8.4 billion a year in sickness absence (SCMH, 2007). Stress, anxiety and depression are among the main causes of long-term absence of 20 days or more from work (CBI, 2011).
The prevalence of mental health problems in the workplace and their contribution to the significant and escalating costs of sickness absence and staff turnover make a compelling case for interventions to help employees address their difficulties and thus enhance their general wellbeing and functioning at work.

We provide effective therapeutic interventions to improve the health and wellbeing of staff experiencing psychological and emotional problems, and thereby reduce sickness absence and increase staff retention. In addition, we are experienced in the provision of treatment programmes designed to assist absent employees overcome their difficulties and successfully return to work.
We specialise in the provision of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) which are recommended as the treatment of choice by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for common mental problems such as anxiety disorders, depression and Post-traumatic Disorder.
We are also skilled and experienced in the delivery of Brief Solution-Focused Counselling interventions. Our aim is to help people reclaim their mental health and wellbeing so that they can function more effectively at work and achieve a return to work where appropriate.
