Employee Assistance Programme with Yvette Addo Counselling

An EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) service is a work-based programme designed to provide employees with confidential support for personal issues that might affect their well-being or job performance. 

These services typically offer counselling, resources, and referrals for a variety of concerns such as mental health issues, stress, addiction, family problems, financial challenges, and legal issues.

EAP services are often provided at no cost to the employee and are typically available 24/7. Employers offer these services to support their workforce and help maintain a productive and healthy workplace environment.

Accessing therapy with me via your EAP service, has very little difference that of you were accessing therapy with me privately- details found on my 'About Me' page. 

The only difference will be that your EAP will outline how many sessions you are entitled to via your staff benefit.  

Employee Assistance Program therapy can help employees by providing confidential counselling and support for a range of personal, emotional, and psychological challenges that might affect their work and overall well-being. Here are some key ways EAP therapy can be beneficial:

• Mental Health Support:  As an EAP therapist I can help employees manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues that might be impacting their work performance or personal life. Early intervention through therapy can prevent problems from escalating.
• Work-Life Balance: Therapy  can help employees navigate the pressures of balancing work and personal responsibilities, offering strategies to manage time and stress more effectively.
• Conflict Resolution: A an EAP therapist I  can assist with resolving interpersonal conflicts at work or home, improving communication skills and fostering a more positive environment.
• Coping with Personal Challenges: Employees dealing with personal crises such as the loss of a loved one, relationship difficulties, or financial problems can find support and coping strategies through Therapy.
• Substance Abuse and Addiction: Therapy offers a safe non judgmental space where staff who are struggling with substance abuse or addiction, can access emotional support  and, if needed, referrals to treatment programs.
• Improving Job Performance: Addressing personal issues through therapy can help employees focus better at work, increase job satisfaction, and enhance overall productivity by resolving underlying stressors.
• Confidentiality: Therapy is confidential, which encourages employees to seek help without fear of stigma or concerns about privacy.

By offering short-term emotional and cognitive  support, therapy can help employees improve their mental health, well-being, and job performance, benefiting both the individual and the organization as a whole.
