Critical incident support, reflective practice and wellbeing training for organisations where the work is heavy. Led by Debbie Nightingale, a workplace mental health consultant and BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor.
What's your team dealing with?
After an accident, an assault or a frightening event at work, Debbie provides structured debriefing for the people involved, on site or online. There's one-to-one crisis support for anyone who needs it, and support for the managers holding everything together.
An incident lands on the people in the room. Then it keeps moving, through the team and the managers and on into people's homes. Watch where it goes, then see what changes when support meets it.
Every organisation is different, so sessions are shaped around your people and the work they do. They run live, with plenty of room for questions.
Talk through what you need
After a sudden death, a serious accident or an assault at work, structured support arrives quickly, on site or online.
Facilitated sessions where teams can talk honestly about the work and the emotional load that comes with it.
Tailored sessions that build confidence in talking about mental health at work, including the Navigating Grief at Work webinar, a gentle and practical 40 to 45 minutes for teams and managers.
Short and longer-term counselling for employees who need more emotional or psychological support.
Help to work through conflict between colleagues before it hardens into something bigger.
A helpline waits for people to call. After a hard day, most people won't.
Debbie works the other way round. She comes to your team, learns how your organisation runs and stays with you over time. Support is already in place before the next difficult day, and the people delivering it already know your people.
Debbie calls it her whole company approach. One embedded partner works across people, teams and systems and builds a long-term relationship with your organisation. Nobody has to tell their story twice.
Debbie provides critical incident support directly to organisations and as an external practitioner for several national Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs).
Through an EAP, organisations usually pay more than her direct rate. Working with Debbie directly brings the same specialist response, quicker access and continuity of care, at a lower cost.
If you already have an EAP
Debbie can work alongside it or provide support independently. If you're not sure whether you have an EAP contract, she can help you check before you go ahead.
Tell us about your EAPHigh-hazard sites, frontline public services and teams who deal with other people's worst days. These are the teams Debbie sets out to support.
