Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

The overall wellbeing of your employees can have a significant impact on their professional performance. Rather than ignore or avoid the signs of stress, depression, emotional distress or anxiety, with Starlight Psychology you can provide qualified assistance and in doing so create a healthier, happier and more productive workplace. 

Our Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are designed to address issues that are negatively impacting the health and wellbeing of your employees. It is a valuable professional service that helps responsible employers care for their employees, to achieve a healthy workforce able to perform at their best.

Unlike a “life coach” or “professional motivator”, our psychologists have the qualifications and skills necessary to address the medical needs of the employee, and therefore achieve effective results.

Today’s employees face a myriad of stress triggers. The pace of change and growth in today’s businesses is faster than ever. To ensure your employees stay healthy and on track, we can help you to develop and implement Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in your workplace.

What is an Employee Asistance Program?

EAP provides confidential counselling, coaching and support for employees and their immediate family members, for work and life issues. These include issues at work or home such as conflict, performance, stress, relationships, communication, drug and alcohol abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and confidence.

The style of counselling is confidential, informal, friendly and focused on the needs of the individual. It can be provided face-to-face or over the telephone, or video via Skype whichever is more convenient.

All our EAP consultations are strictly confidential, we do not share information about the employee with anyone unless authorised to do so by the employee in writing or if required under Australian Law.
