Employee Assistance counselling offers the employer a service that is valued by employees, and has the potential for savings by reducing sickness absence.  In addition Employee Assistance Counselling takes pressure off Managers through the availability of a constructive means of dealing with difficulties a member of staff may be experiencing.  It also contributes to your reputation as a caring employer.

All Compass counsellors are qualified, and either registered or accredited by the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and as members are required to adhere to their Ethical Framework regarding professional standards and good practice.

We are required to work within BACP guidelines regarding confidentiality and we understand that respecting client’s privacy and confidentiality is a fundamental requirement for keeping trust and valuing client autonomy. Information that is passed on to you the employer therefore usually relates only to the initial referral and to client’s attendance at sessions and invoicing processes. We can discuss our needs fully with you as part of our contracting process to ensure it fits your requirements.

These measures are taken during and at the end to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Our current working alliances with workplaces evidence how useful therapy has proven to be for its employees. There is evidence to support counselling helping to accelerate the rehabilitation of an absent employee. Our Employee Assistance counsellors are experienced in delivering time-limited therapy to users.
