How your EAP works
As the name suggests, our psychologists use a short-term therapy model, which is solution focused. Through effective, short-term counselling, our psychologists help your employees resolve problems and return to work as productive employees.

If an individual requires long-term counselling, Solution Focus Psychology will recommend alternatives and can provide the employee with a referral to a wide range of specialist services.

Our EAP’s also provide you with important information which can benefit the overall effectiveness of your organisation. Solution Focus Psychology’s statistical reporting processes allow your organisation to track work-related issues that need to be addressed.
