Workplace Mental Health Support for UK Employers and Teams
In today’s fast-moving, high-pressure environments, supporting mental health at work is not just beneficial—it’s essential. Poor mental wellbeing among employees can lead to burnout, disengagement, absenteeism and high staff turnover. But when businesses prioritise psychological support, they create a more resilient, productive and loyal workforce.
At Past 2 Present Counselling & Psychotherapy, we provide tailored workplace mental health support services across the UK. Our confidential, one-to-one counselling helps employees navigate emotional challenges, work-related stress and personal difficulties that may be affecting their wellbeing or performance.
Signs Your Workplace May Need Mental Health Support
A mentally healthy workplace isn’t just one without crisis—it’s one where employees feel safe, supported and understood. You might benefit from introducing or expanding mental health services if you’ve noticed:
- Increased sick leave or absenteeism
- Low morale or lack of engagement
- High staff turnover
- Workplace conflict or communication breakdowns
- Staff showing signs of stress, anxiety or exhaustion
- Challenges around hybrid or remote working adjustments
Early support prevents issues from escalating, improves team culture and shows your staff that their wellbeing truly matters.
What We Offer in Our Workplace Mental Health Services
We work with employers of all sizes across the UK, offering:
- Confidential one-to-one therapy for staff
- Short-term support (4–6 sessions) or longer-term counselling
- Online and telephone sessions accessible across the UK
- Walk and Talk Therapy for Cornwall-based staff
- Wellbeing consultations for HR and leadership teams
- Support during times of change, loss or workplace stress
All services are trauma-informed, inclusive and confidential. Sessions focus on personal wellbeing rather than clinical diagnosis or performance review.
Why Choose Past 2 Present for Workplace Mental Health?
Unlike large Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), we offer a personal and flexible service. Employees speak directly with an experienced therapist rather than navigating impersonal helplines or waiting lists. This creates greater trust, faster access and more meaningful support.
We bring experience in both therapy and corporate environments, helping staff feel understood while also supporting your organisation’s wider wellbeing strategy.
Topics Covered in Therapy for Employees
Employees may use their sessions to explore a range of concerns, such as:
- Stress or burnout
- Grief, loss or family difficulties
- Conflict at work or team dynamics
- Low confidence or self-esteem
- Anxiety or overwhelm
- Difficulty adjusting to change or hybrid working
- Feeling emotionally “stuck” or unsupported
No topic is too big or too small. Therapy provides a space to reflect, process and move forward with greater emotional clarity.
What Does This Mean for Your Organisation?
Providing professional mental health support sends a clear message: your people matter. By offering therapy that’s accessible, confidential and compassionate, you create a workplace culture where it’s safe to talk—and where support isn’t just a policy, but a practice.
When employees feel mentally well, they’re more engaged, more focused and more committed. Therapy isn’t just about fixing problems—it’s about building strength, awareness and emotional wellbeing that lasts.
