Employee Support Services & Workplace Wellbeing
Professional Support that works.
At Talk Buddy Counselling, we believe mental health support in the workplace shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Every organisation is different. That is why we offer flexible, BACP-registered counselling and wellbeing services that are shaped around the needs of your team, your culture, and your capacity.
Mental health challenges don’t stop at the office door. Stress, burnout, low morale, and personal difficulties can have a lasting impact on employee wellbeing, productivity, and retention. Our services are designed to address these issues proactively—creating space for people to feel heard, supported, and better equipped to manage life both in and outside of work.

- Built Around You: We work closely with each organisation to tailor the right level of support—no rigid packages, no assumptions.
- Genuine Engagement: Our approach drives real participation by making support relevant, responsive, and easy to access—leading to improved employee wellbeing, stronger retention, and a more resilient team.
What We Offer
One-to-One Staff Counselling
Confidential, BACP-registered counselling available to employees either in person or remotely, delivered in a private, professional setting.
- Stress, burnout, or anxiety
- Emotional or personal challenges
- Workplace conflict or change
- Difficulties outside of work impacting performance
This service supports mental wellbeing, enhances focus and resilience, and reduces long-term absence.
On-Site or Drop-In Support
A regular, visible mental health presence within your workplace—delivered by a qualified, BACP-registered counsellor. This includes:
- Bookable, private sessions during working hours
- Informal, low-barrier drop-in slots
- Dedicated wellbeing days
This approach normalises mental health support and encourages early engagement, reducing stigma and building psychological safety.
Group Support & Reflective Practice
Professionally facilitated group sessions where teams can pause, process, and reflect together in a safe and structured space. Sessions are shaped to suit your team’s dynamic and can be either clinical or peer-led in tone.
Best suited for:
- Frontline or emotionally intensive roles
- High-stress teams
- Staff impacted by change, loss, or conflict
- Team development and morale boosting
These sessions support stronger relationships, clarity, and collective resilience.
Mental Health Talks & Workshops
Engaging, informative sessions designed to raise awareness, build emotional resilience, and equip employees with mental health tools.
Topics include:
- Managing stress and overwhelm
- Supporting others: manager and peer roles
- Boundaries, burnout, and balance
- Mental health literacy for the workplace
- Leadership and mental wellbeing
- Tailored topics available on request
Workshops are available as one-offs or as part of a broader wellbeing strategy.
Talk Buddy Wellbeing Activities
We offer a unique range of activity-based wellbeing sessions. These combine gentle physical activity, conversation, and therapeutic support in non-traditional settings, and can be offered one-to-one or in small groups.
Activities include:
- Walk-and-talk sessions during the workday
- Light hiking in nearby green spaces
- Therapeutic fishing or golf-based check-ins
- Outdoor mindfulness and reflection walks
- Coffee-and-conversation drop-ins in neutral settings
These are especially helpful for staff who feel more comfortable talking outside a formal environment. They can be integrated into leadership retreats, wellbeing days, or included in an ongoing support offer.
Bespoke (EAP) Employee Assistance Programmes
We work with organisations to develop cost-effective EAPs that result in high employee engagement rates. Our bespoke packages offer a blend of services to match your size, goals, and values—without the complexity or cost of larger providers.
EAP’s may include:
- Allocated one-to-one counselling per employee
- On-site or drop-in services
- Group sessions and reflective practice
- Staff training and wellbeing workshops
- Optional inclusion of Talk Buddy Activities
Each plan is built around your team, with measurable impact and flexible delivery
