Why it matters

Healthy minds build healthy businesses

Every workplace takes physical health seriously. There are risk assessments, trained first aiders and clear procedures. Mental health rarely gets the same structure, even though it now accounts for the largest share of long-term absence in the UK.

Supporting your team's wellbeing is not only the right thing to do, it is measurably good for business. Deloitte's research puts the average return at nearly five pounds for every pound spent, with the strongest returns coming from early, preventative work rather than crisis support later on.

Most employers we speak to already know this. What they want is someone to tell them what would actually help, and what it would cost.

The business case

What a supported team gives back

A workplace where people feel looked after pays you back in ways that show up on the numbers as well as in the room.

01

Better retention

People who feel supported stay longer, which cuts the very real cost and disruption of recruiting and rehiring.

02

Fewer days lost

Earlier support means fewer people reaching the point of long-term absence, which is where the cost sits.

03

Less presenteeism

The biggest cost is not absence but people at their desks and struggling. That is the part most schemes miss.

04

Stronger culture

Open conversations about wellbeing build trust and morale, and make you a place people recommend working.

How we help

What we can put in place

Most employers start with one or two of these and build from there. You do not have to take all of it.

One-to-one sessions for staff

Confidential counselling, hypnotherapy, CBT or EMDR with an experienced therapist, in person or online. Bought as a block or arranged case by case.

Manager training

Practical help for the people who spot problems first: how to open a difficult conversation, what to say, and where their responsibility ends.

Workshops

Interactive sessions on stress, resilience and burnout that shift attitudes rather than tick a box.

Mindfulness classes

Short, regular sessions teams can actually fit into a working week, on site or over video.

Critical incident support

Responsive support after a bereavement, accident or other difficult event affecting a team.

Consultancy

Strategic guidance on building wellbeing into your policies, benefits and everyday working practice.

A fair question

We already have an employee assistance programme

Plenty of our clients do, and we are not here to talk you out of it. Employee assistance programmes are useful, particularly for the first phone call and for signposting.

Where they tend to fall short is depth and continuity. Sessions are often capped at a low number, allocation is by whoever is available, and take-up across most schemes is low because staff are not sure who they are being put through to.

What we add is a small, named team of experienced therapists your people can actually meet, in Fareham or online, with continuity of care and no arbitrary session cap. The two work perfectly well alongside each other, and for some businesses that combination is the right answer.

Mindfulness at work

Small habits, low cost, easy to start

Mindfulness sessions are usually the simplest thing to introduce and the easiest for staff to say yes to. They need no diagnosis, no disclosure and no HR involvement, which is exactly why take-up tends to be higher than for more formal support.

  • Lower day-to-day stress, and a practical alternative to pushing through
  • Better focus, particularly for teams doing detailed or high-pressure work
  • Fewer flashpoints, with calmer communication under pressure
  • A visible signal that the organisation takes this seriously

They also work well as a starting point if you are not sure how much appetite there is in your team yet.

Our approach

Made for you, not off the shelf

We will not hand you a standard package. We take time to understand your business, the pressures your people are actually under, and what has already been tried, then propose something proportionate.

We are a therapy practice rather than a wellbeing platform, so what you get is experienced clinicians rather than an app and a helpline number. That suits some organisations better than others, and we will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit.

Whether you are a team of eight or several hundred, we scale the support to match.

Getting started

How it works

  1. 1

    A conversation

    A free, no-obligation call about your business, your team and what you are trying to solve. Half an hour is usually enough.

  2. 2

    A written proposal

    What we would suggest, why, what it would cost and what we would measure. No pressure to take all of it.

  3. 3

    Delivery and review

    We deliver on site or online, then review against what we agreed at the start so you can see what it is doing.

Pricing depends on scale and format, and is set out in the proposal. Start with a conversation

Your staff's sessions stay confidential

This is the question employees ask first, and the answer matters for take-up. One-to-one sessions are private between the therapist and the individual. You receive reporting on themes, usage and outcomes at an anonymised group level, never on named people or what they discussed.

Good to know

Questions employers ask

How do we get started?

With a conversation. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation call about your business and what you are trying to solve, and we will follow up with a written proposal setting out what we would suggest, what it would cost and what we would measure.

Is support confidential for our staff?

Yes, and this is worth being clear about with your team, because it drives take-up. One-to-one sessions are private between the therapist and the employee. You receive reporting on themes, usage and outcomes at an anonymised group level, never on named individuals or the content of their sessions.

We already have an EAP. Why would we need this?

You may not, and we will say so if that is the case. EAPs are good at the first call and at signposting, but sessions are often capped at a low number and continuity of therapist can be limited. We offer a small named team, longer term work where it is needed, and no arbitrary cap. Many organisations run both.

What size of business do you work with?

From small teams to several hundred staff. We scale the support to fit, and for smaller businesses that often means starting with a modest block of one-to-one sessions rather than anything elaborate.

Can you deliver on site and online?

Yes. We deliver in person across Hampshire and online UK wide, so office-based, remote and hybrid teams can all take part on the same terms.

How do you measure the impact?

We agree what good looks like with you at the outset, whether that is absence figures, take-up rates, staff survey scores or standardised wellbeing measures, then report against it. We would rather agree the measure before we start than pick a flattering one afterwards.

What does it cost?

It depends on scale and format, so we price it in the proposal rather than publishing a rate card that would not fit anyone. A block of one-to-one sessions for a small team is a modest commitment. Workshops and consultancy are quoted per piece of work.

Can you help with a specific employee we are worried about?

Often yes, and this is how many employers first get in touch. We can arrange support for one person without any wider programme. Bear in mind the individual has to want it and their sessions stay confidential, but we can talk through how to approach the conversation with them.

Can you support us after a difficult event at work?

Yes. We provide responsive support after a bereavement, accident or other incident affecting a team. Get in touch and we will talk through what would help and how quickly we can be there.

Do you tailor everything to our business?

Yes. We shape every workshop, class and plan around your culture, your pressures and your goals. We will also tell you honestly if we do not think we are the right fit for what you need.
