About the assistance programme 

Telephone Counselling

You can access Structured Telephone Counselling through our service.

  • This involves weekly sessions with the same fully qualified Counsellors.
  • It is convenient as it reduces the need for travel and makes it easier to fit in with work and other commitments.
  • You can call from anywhere providing it is quiet and you are able to talk openly.

Face to Face Counselling

  • Face to face counselling takes place in a private practice or a confidential area.
  • We have over 1,000 counsellors across the UK and ROI so you will never have to travel too far.
  • Within short term solution focused therapy, you and a counsellor will identify problems and work towards a solution, not forgetting how its making you feel.
  • Face to face counselling is available as applicable.

Your Health Assured assistance programme offers guidance and support on a wide range of issues including:

  • Specialist information in regards to legal queries, consumer rights, debt or domestic matters – the counsellor will assess your requirements and transfer you to an appropriate specialist, eg legal, consumer, or financial information.
  • Personal – marital, relationship and family concerns, emotional issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance abuse, behavioural difficulties, bereavement, sexual orientation and gender identity. The counsellor will conduct an in-depth assessment and if appropriate telephone counselling will commence immediately, otherwise the counsellor will agree a convenient time to begin counselling sessions. 
  • Work-related – the counsellors offer 24-hour confidential support for work-related concerns such as stress, bullying, anger management and career direction.
  • Employee management – support to managers from counsellors, experienced HR specialists, or occupational psychologists.
  • Health – advice on health issues such as symptoms and treatments, medication and surgery, inoculations, travel vaccinations and lifestyle programmes (e.g quitting smoking).
