Workplace Mental Health Workshops

As a counsellor, I work with small businesses to promote both group and individual mental health. Recognising that everyone brings their personal lives to work, I address issues such as transference, negative communication, and workplace politics, which can hinder staff happiness and customer satisfaction.

Through workshops and one-on-one sessions, I help employees develop self-awareness, manage stress, and improve communication. By fostering a culture of empathy and psychological well-being, I aim to create a healthier, more productive work environment where both staff and customers can thrive.
