Everyone can also help stop COVID-19 spreading by:
Avoiding touching your face and washing your hands as soon as you get home.

The residue of trauma left behind...
The residue of trauma left behind...
Undoubtedly, these are testing times, and some key workers are exposed to incidents that you would not ordinarily have to deal with. A traumatic reaction happens when you lose the sense of having a safe place to retreat to and find yourself ruminating about frightening emotions or experiences. This leads to a state of helplessness where you feel that your actions have no bearing on the outcomes for your life. If that becomes the case, you need to talk to someone. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for a chat. Any of employee counselling team will be happy to provide you with support.
Keep safe and keep well.
The Vital Role of Counselling (Natalie Bailey, Chair BACP)
The Vital Role of Counselling (Natalie Bailey, Chair BACP)
“The role of professional therapists is now more important than ever as people come to terms with the mental health impact of illness, bereavement, isolation, insecurity, changing work and family circumstances and general anxiety at such an uncertain time.
Many counsellors and psychotherapists are already playing a vital role on the front line of this epidemic, supporting the most vulnerable people, including medical staff and other key workers who are struggling with their own mental health.
“As the crisis grows, the need for urgent therapeutic support will only increase and professional therapists will also be critical in the longer-term, in rebuilding the fabric of the nation and helping people to return to normality."
