Employee Assistance Programme – Frequently Asked Questions

 

Your EAP programme is designed to offer you a stepped care approach to psychological support. All counsellors are professionally trained, qualified and are members of their relevant professional body. All Counsellors, Psychotherapists, EAP employees and affiliates have a current Enhanced Disclosure and Barring service check. The service adheres to the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapists) ethical code, the details of this can be found here.

 

All clients entering the service will be asked to provide their contact information, GP details, employee details and will undertake a short risk assessment. This is to enable us to best meet your needs at the first available opportunity and to ensure you are triaged to the most appropriate support. We provide your employer with baseline management information about user demographics. This will never identify you as an individual. The service has a range of support pathways and this will be collaboratively explored with you to find the one best meeting your current needs. We have compiled a range of frequently asked questions for your information.
