Counselling for your work life

online or in person in Cambridge

With work consuming much of our day and defining a big part of who we are, proritising a healthy work-life balance is essential for our wellbeing.

The consequences of neglecting this balance can lead to burnout, strained relationships and diminished physical and mental health. In investing in a healthy work-life balance, we can improve our productivity at work but also our fulfillment in life overall.

Hello, I’m Sarah, a qualified counsellor with a focus on workplace wellbeing and work-life balance.

Are you suffering from stress, anxiety and burnout or are trying to get along with difficult colleagues?

Perhaps you are facing redundancy or are being bullied or harassed at work.

Or you may be struggling with a bereavement or divorce, which are making work challenging for you.

If so, you may find it helpful to have time to talk to someone independent of your organisation to gain a better understanding of your challenges and how you might deal with them in a workplace setting. 

Did you know that…

1 in 5 employees in the UK took time off work for stress last year

Why talk to a counsellor?

If work is impacting on your mental health, who can you turn to? You may not wish to burden your partner or family and it may be that your colleagues or boss are part of the problem.

Counselling can provide you with a safe space to explore what’s going on for you, discover what may be holding you back, develop coping strategies and help you find a way forward.

What I can help with

I can help with all kinds of issues at work including:

stress | anxiety | burnout

work-life balance

bullying | harassment | conflict with colleagues

impostor syndrome

remote work | redundancy | retirement

personal issues affecting your work

Some of the challenges people come to counselling with

  • I’m experiencing panic attacks at work. How can I keep these under control?

  • My boss is putting me under too much pressure. I’m ready to quit!

  • I’m a new hire and I feel like a fraud because I’m not sure I’m up to the job.

  • I’m going through a divorce and trying to keep things together at work.

How I work

I will be listening carefully to what you have to tell me, to ensure I have fully understood you, your values and your experiences, before finding an approach that meets your needs.

Part of this will be building a picture of your work life and understanding your relationships at work, so that together we can identify sources of stress or pressure and identify any unhelpful thought patterns or behaviours.

You are at the heart of the process and together we can make sense of your difficulties, discover what may be holding you back, develop coping strategies and help you lead a more balanced work life.
