At Acorn Therapy, we offer online workplace counselling designed to strengthen professional relationships and help you achieve a less stressful, more productive work environment. Our service provides employees with confidential, free, one-to-one therapeutic support online.
Workplace counselling is generally a short-term intervention that offers a safe space for employees to explore any issues causing them difficulty, whether personal or work-related.
Since most of our adult waking hours during the week are spent at work—often more time than with family or friends—it’s essential to feel mentally healthy, safe, and valued at work. This wellbeing enables you to perform at your best and excel in other areas of life.
Our employee wellbeing service provides high-quality, flexible counselling support tailored for companies of all sizes—small, medium, or large.

By supporting your employees’ mental health and well-being, you help reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, and foster a more engaged and resilient workforce.

What to Expect in the Sessions:
In our sessions, we will create a safe and collaborative space where you feel comfortable to openly discuss the issue you want help with. Throughout the counselling process, you will receive ongoing support as we work together. We’ll explore how you would like to manage your situation and develop strategies to try out and review.
Sometimes, depending on your needs and the nature of the issue, a counselling approach may be the most suitable way forward.
Stages of Online Employee Counselling in the UK:
Rapport and Relationship Building
The first step is to build a trusting connection. I use skills such as mirroring, tracking, pacing, attentive listening, and empathy. This stage also involves obtaining your informed consent, appropriate self-disclosure, and reflecting your feelings to ensure you feel heard and understood.Assessment and Problem Definition
At this stage, I assess your feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and interpersonal dynamics by asking exploratory questions. This helps to clearly define the issues you are facing.Goal Setting
Together, we collaboratively set goals focusing on three key elements: Choice, Change, and Coping. This stage guides the direction of our work together.Intervention
We develop and implement a plan for change, regularly reviewing progress toward your goals. This prepares you to effectively manage your challenges.Termination
In the final stage, we review your accomplishments, the skills you have gained, and the resources and support systems available to you. We also discuss potential obstacles and make plans for follow-up, ensuring you have alternative ways to maintain progress after counselling ends.

Most companies offer their employees up to a maximum of six 1-hour counselling sessions, paid for by the company. I provide employee counselling sessions on a weekly basis, which can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the individual and the company.

Supporting employees’ mental health benefits not only the individual but also the company or organisation. Offering counselling services is therefore valuable to both employees and employers. It is essential for businesses to prioritise mental health care early on to enable timely intervention.
