Summerglen Counselling service can provide Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), Professional Supervision and Mediation.
EAP counselling is available for individuals having difficulty with their work and/or performance issues. Our aim is to offer support and to work with the client to resolve the issues that are causing such concern.
Employer Issues
Increasing pressure in the workplace is leading to a high level of workplace stress for many employees. Some of these pressures and demands have been identified as:
- surviving constant change
- prioritising competing demands
- managing diversity
- Dealing with and trying to resolve harassment and bullying in the work place.
EAP counselling helps reduce the incidence of absenteeism and assists employees to gain a renewed commitment to the organisation.
Employee Issues
Employees experiencing high levels of workplace stress can feel overworked, overwhelmed and have a sense of loosing control.
Invariably, low self esteem and a feeling of being useless to themselves, family and friends occurs. This results in loss of commitment, low moral, high absenteeism and disillusionment with the working environment.
Summerglen counselling can provide the individual with an opportunity to discuss their problem/s, identify how it is affecting their work, family and relationships, and together with the therapist, consider ways to reduce their stress, gain control and feel a sense of value once again.
This counselling service provides individuals with support during a difficult time and helps them regain confidence.
Professional Supervision
Summerglen counselling can provide professional supervision either for individuals or small groups.
What is supervision?
It is a safe place where staff and management take their professional issues or case load for debriefing, sharing and/or to discuss, so they can find other possibilities and/or interventions. Whereas counselling is about the exploration of the individual’s personal issues and their affect on self and significant others.
A significant benefit of supervision is the ability to receive immediate feedback, support, guidance and encouragement which nurtures a sense of achievement and confidence in one’s ability.
Receiving supervision contributes significantly to reducing emotional exhaustion amongst staff and assists in the development of professional judgement and growth. It is a planned time held on a regular basis for staff to share and discuss their professional concerns, ideas and interventions in a structured manner.
Mediation
Summerglen Counselling can provide mediation to resolve disputes.
What is mediation?
Mediation is a process whereby a mediator, who is a neutral person, assists parties involved in a dispute to identify the issues which are disputed, to voice their needs and concerns and to consider alternative options in order to try and reach an agreement and reduce conflict.
The mediator remains impartial at all times and has no vested interest in determining the outcome or process of the mediation. Mediation is a useful process in workplace or relationship disputes, as it enables both parties to work together to find a workable agreement.
