Workplace Counselling

The issues that people either bring to the workplace or experience within are many and varied. It is not possible for an individual to remain unaffected by problems based in the home or vice versa. This invasion will and does occur, no matter how great the effort by the individual to prevent it taking place or being detected. Just as the problems each person is likely to experience are varied, so are the associated emotional responses and visible manifestations which alert others to the existence of a problem.

Common problems which occur frequently are:

• Depression may occur some months after an employee has experienced a bereavement of someone close to him or her
• Anxiety may pervade all aspects of a person’s life on hearing that redundancies are to be made
• Anger may be evident in an employee who has received a poor performance appraisal
• An employee who exhibits a pattern of behaviour, may be exhibiting signs of an alcohol problem
• A person who is irritable and moody with colleagues may be experiencing relationship difficulties at home
• Periods of sickness which fall into a regular pattern may be associated with specific and recurring aspects in the person's job which are stressful and with which he or she cannot cope, for example, departmental meetings, presentations, deadlines.
