Why offer counselling for your staff members?
UK teachers and school staff are experiencing very high levels of work-related stress and poor mental health — the Education Support Teacher Wellbeing Index 2025 reports that ≈76 % of education staff are stressed and 36 % are at risk of probable clinical depression linked to their work. This is part of a broader wellbeing crisis in the sector.

​

Key benefits of offering support for teachers:

• Improved individual mental health and wellbeing

• Reduction of absence and improvements in staff retention

• Complements other school wellbeing initiatives and a positive work environment

• Demonstrates employer duty of care

• Further indirect positive effects upon the school climate and students

​

Common issues reported by school staff:

• Bullying or harassment 

• Communication problems

• Discrimination

• Interpersonal conflict

• Low motivation and job satisfaction

• Mental health issues

• Performance issues

• Poor health

• Work related stress

• Personal related issues

​

Counselling can explore healthy coping skills that employees can use to manager work related stress and other issues, as well as helping your employees to explore and implement stress management techniques and conflict resolution skills. 

Our team are very experienced in supporting employees working in the education sector and we work closely with our schools to help retain the member of staff in the workplace, or to help them return to work as soon as possible if they have been signed off work. 

With our bespoke service, you can decide how many counselling session to provide as support for each member of staff. On receipt of referral, we will confirm directly to you and then contact the staff member to offer them an initial session within 24 hours.
