Experts in Workplace Issues
At e-Psychelpsydney, we understand the importance of targeting specific psychosocial barriers when helping people return to work. Our team aims to help people improve their motivation, self-confidence and job-seeking skills to aid reintegration to the workplace.
We are the preferred providers for a number of workplaces, including hospitals, universities and schools, where our reliable Workplace Stress Support Plan is frequently accessed. We also work with a variety of insurers, including psychological testing and pre-injury personality for pre-liability assessments.
Stress Barriers
- Pain and strain: We offer Psychelp Parallel Management of the negative attitudes and emotions that may be held by the injured worker, the employer and insurer. We also promote early diagnosis and treatment that may not be effective if chronic pain is allowed to develop.
- Traumatic stress/anxiety: We promote very early mediation, debriefing or specific trauma therapy to decondition responses of distress and distrust.
- Bullying and harassment: Workplace power conflicts can result in extreme psychological injury or a ‘nervous breakdown’. Left untreated, this can chronically undermine the psychological health and wellbeing, not only of the abused individuals but also of the entire workplace.
- Brain injury and neuro-cognitive loss: This may result from concussion or open head injuries. If minimal impairment, such as changes in concentration and memory, or anxiety, results, then we can help with rehabilitation and restoring self-confidence to aid recovery.
- The Feuerstein Program For Brain Plasticity And Cognitive Modifiability (FIE): Even severely brain damaged individuals can recover their potential for learning. With mediated learning to retrain for new levels of cognitive, emotional and social functioning, we can improve the quality of the person’s adaptation to life and work.
Organisational Change and Stress
- Executive stress: We offer assistance to workers in high-level positions, such as managers, supervisors, self-employed business people and other professionals, helping them to re-balance home and work demands and avoid burnout.
- Online emergency support: We offer online emergency support through telecounselling or online life coaching, backed by initial and occasional visits wherever possible.
- E-Psychelpsydney EAP (Employee Assistance Programs): Employers can pay for their workers to receive two to three sessions with E-Psychelpsydney to address any issues they may have.
- Professional workplace stress: This is aimed at professionals, doctors, lawyers and teachers, working in high-level positions that carry greater risk and demand.
- Workaholism, burnout and personality: Smart executives will have recognised the early warning signals such as persistent fatigue, inefficiency and depression but they usually respond with the only behaviour they know, which is greater effort and increased withdrawl and more work. Marital or sexual failures or business threat may be the presenting problem - Psychelp Parallel Process approach can develop the executive's level of "self" awareness as well as their stress management skills. If their business or family life does collapse rehabilitation may involve ongoing psychotherapy or career change, or retirement counselling. Planning for such changes is an initial aspect of success.
