Counselling
Works
We know that between 4-12% of people seek workplace counselling each
year to help them resolve their personal or work related problems.
We know –
that short term counselling interventions (3-8 sessions):
| • |
achieve effective stress reduction
in 50% of people counselled; |
| • |
enable them to re-engage in the
normal level of work functioning; |
| • |
reduce their levels of sickness
and absence by 25-50%; |
| • |
have a positive, if smaller effect, on the
levels of job commitment, job satisfaction and substance
misuse. |
"People
who need workplace counselling display similar levels of psychological
distress found in patients attending psychiatric outpatient
clinics."
– Professor John McLeod,
Professor of Counselling at the University of Abertay, Dundee:
Counselling in the Workplace: the Facts - British Association
for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
The data for the effectiveness of
workplace counselling from Professor McLeod’s review of
all published research which evaluated workplace counselling
over 50 years between 1954-2000. It reflected the experiences
of over 10,000 people who used workplace counselling and a variety
of approaches to counselling at work.
