Much research evidence is coming forward from the scientific community in support of a mindfulness based well-being approach to corporate working practices- making for a happier and healthier workforce.
As a UKCP registered psychotherapist and well-being practitioner since 1998 I can bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to support your staff, either on an ad hoc basis or on a more formal basis to offer an in-house regular pastoral service to support staff in all aspects of their emotional well-being either through group training or individual counselling /psychotherapy sessions on site.
I specialise in Emotional well-being, stress and anxiety management.
I am also a trained Mindful self-compassion teacher and believe firmly that mindfulness has an important role to play in the well-being and positive functioning of a healthy workforce.
Here are just a few quick references that have made media headlines recently:
As a trained mindful self-compassion teacher I now offer short courses and programmes to support employees in the corporate community and have recently facilitated a course for the NHS teaching techniques that promote health and well-being through self-compassion.
I offer full or half day workshops to your organisation at £30 and £60 per person respectively
Workshop and course topics include what I believe and research shows to be important elements in producing a happy and productive workforce:
The wealth of empirical research already undertaken over the last ten years suggests and supports the view that applying compassion and self-compassion is associated with an increase in mental well-being and reduces the effects of anxiety and depression.
Key components supporting self-compassion are mindfulness and meditation. Kristin Neff suggested that “ self-compassion is an important human strength as it evokes qualities of kindness , equanimity, and feelings of inter-connectedness, helping individuals to find hope and meaning when faced with the difficulties of life” (Neff et al. 2007)
Work is a big part of our lives for most of us so it is important that we enjoy it or can take care of ourselves to make our working life easier and more satisfying.
In the workplace we are confronted with many different personalities and dynamics as well as workloads that can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and uncertain in our communications.
As a trained mindful self-compassion teacher and well-being practitioner of many years, I have had the fortunate and privileged opportunity to offer courses and workshops to many corporate clients and I have recently put together a package that offers versatility and flexibility to meet the needs of your teams.
The corporate well-being management system offers a flexible and cost effective approach in-house that employers and employees may wish to explore further and check out the details below.
We spend a large amount of our lifetime at work and with other individuals, working towards common goals, solving problems, meeting deadlines, and increasing workloads in a world full of change and uncertainty.
This can put a strain on any workforce and can impact heavily on the health and well-being of staff.
I have worked with many companies over the years running workshops and staff well-being programmes and so I am introducing my ‘corporate well-being management system’.
I am offering my services to bring into your company over twenty years of experience and expertise in the field of corporate and individual well-being with a solution-focused, positive psychological and compassion-focused approach to empowering and enhancing the skills and strengths of your staff teams.
There are different tailor-made packages on offer to meet the needs of individual companies.
Therefore, I am offering my services on an in-house weekly, or monthly basis, either ad-hoc on a consultancy basis or on a permanent basis as an emotional well-being trainer and facilitator, counsellor and coach – providing psychological support for all members of staff throughout the corporate year.
This offers your staff much more than EAP programmes alone- it offers an ongoing onsite support without the need to involve GP services.
This can be appointment based and/or as a ‘drop-in service’ on selected days, providing quick and effective access to a support service without a waiting time.
As a UKCP registered therapist with an MSc in consciousness and Transpersonal Psychology I bring with me a highly qualified skill set to support your staff.
I offer:
My services incorporate aspects of Positive psychology, and a Compassion-focused approach based on the research of Professor Paul Gilbert and Kristin Neff.
