Employee Assistance Services

From time to time, everyone hits “bad patches” in their lives, often as a result of major life events. Serious workplace accidents, conflict or other problems can adversely impact on all employees.

Usually we rebound from temporary setbacks with some family, work or social support. However, occasionally people can get stuck and that’s when things can potentially go “off the rails” for them without professional help.

Choosing our Employee Assistance Services provided by highly experienced psychologists to deliver psychological and counselling support to your employees can really make a difference.

PsychWorks Partnership offers support to your employees through phone or face to face services. Our services to employees are typically “solution focussed” strategies and short term in duration. We can arrange to refer employees who require longer term assistance to other professionals outside the Employee Assistance Service when necessary.
