Counselling referrals through Occupational Health:
All colleagues can refer themselves to our counselling service. If preferred, colleagues can also ask their manager to make a referral on their behalf.
Referrals at Gateshead Health are triaged, with some directed towards our internal psychological support capacity and some passed on to the NENC ICS Staff Wellbeing Hub team.
Talking therapies are for anyone who is going through a tough time or who has emotional problems that they need help with. Sessions provide you with the opportunity to talk about what is bothering you, look at your problems in a different way and an expert who will respect you.
Counselling can be helpful in many scenarios, but particularly for those who experience depression, anxiety, eating disorders, phobias and addiction. These services may also be useful after traumatic events such as bereavement or personal issues.
