As Health and Social care staff, over the last two years you have been looking after everyone else it is now time to look after you.

We appreciate that some employers already offer similar provision but others don’t. This offer is not in competition with your employers offer if they have one, it is complementary.

We appreciate that some staff are reluctant to use the counselling provision provided by their employer; you now have a different offer available. We know that the offers provided by your employers are confidential and your employers are not informed of what goes on in Counselling, but some people tell us that they worry about this. Our new service is even at arm’s length from the Staff Support Hub and your employer.

What does this New Counselling Services offer?

An initial assessment by a qualified counsellor and up to 6 free Counselling sessions.

Use this link to THE SELF REFERRAL FORM. You will be contacted by the service provider within 5 working days to arrange your assessment.

This individual service is operated for the Staff Support Hub by Relate Cambridge.
