What are EAP Counselling Services?

In our current climate, employees demand more from their employers than just a paycheck. They want a company that cares about them; they don’t want to feel like just another cog in the machine. Fortunately, modern business leaders have realised the importance of physical and mental wellbeing for employee satisfaction and productivity.

An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is designed to maintain workplace balance and provide employees with a safe and secure place to tackle their personal and professional challenges. EAP counselling in Sydney is confidential, work-based counselling focused on helping employees with various mental struggles in their life. These struggles may include anxiety or depression, divorce or family problems, grief and loss, or work and financial stress. Fundamentally, EAP counselling allows employees to speak about their issues and concerns with a professional before these problems become debilitating.

Traditionally, EAP programs were only available to larger companies in Australia with more than 100 employees. However, finding a trusted EAP provider in Sydney is now easier than ever. EAP counselling services are available to NSW businesses of all sizes, across multiple industries and markets. 

In today’s dynamic workplace landscape, it’s more important than ever to foster a supportive environment for employers. More companies are recognising the value of EAP counselling in Sydney and the confidential haven it offers employers to address personal issues affecting their mental health and wellness. By engaging with an EAP service provider in Sydney, businesses take a proactive approach that enhances employee satisfaction and contributes to a more resilient and capable workforce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under the WHS Act, employers are required to build psychologically healthy and safe workplaces.An Employee Assistance Program, or EAP, helps employees deal with personal or work-related problems and therefore helps to increase productivity, creativity, and engagement for your business. EAP can also be offered following a critical incident where there is a risk of distress and trauma for a group of employees, for example: following the death or injury of a workmate, the retrenchment of staff, or a significant restructuring in the workplace.

Access to EAP in Sydney is voluntary, and employees receive a confidential psychological service where they can resolve issues that may impact their workplace performance, such as:

  • Workplace relationships
  • Careers counselling
  • Motivation
  • Personal stress
  • Addiction
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

An EAP counselling service tends to be short-term (usually three to four sessions), and may involve follow-ups in the future to ensure relapse prevention or referrals to longer-term counselling services and specialist services where required.

Yes — EAP services are helpful to those in managerial positions who may experience workplace issues related to management, where a consultation with a psychologist may be beneficial, including:

  • Consulting on how to appropriately manage difficult staff
  • Strategies to increase the motivation of staff
  • Assistance with conflict resolution
  • Assistance with performance management of staff.

Yes – all EAP counselling services are confidential. Even though all employees have access to EAP in Sydney, very few engage with the service even though they know that it exists and costs them no out-of-pocket expenses — mainly out of fear of confidentiality breaches. While conversations with Human Resources are not strictly confidential, all EAP counselling services are. The only exceptions to this rule are:

  • With consent by the client
  • Where there is a risk to the safety of the client or others
  • To comply with statutory duties, or
  • To comply with a court order or subpoena

As mental health and well-being are critical in the workplace, we recommend reassuring staff that there is no requirement for employees to tell their office manager or HR manager that they are receiving EAP counselling in Sydney. For example, employees may take personal or annual leave to attend EAP appointments. Assuring staff that EAP is confidential can encourage the participation of EAP counselling — and therefore improve the overall quality of life in the workplace.
