Counselling service for staff
An important part of the support package that NHS Lanarkshire staff have been able to access has been a confidential counselling service.
Salus are pleased to announce that for the next three years counselling services will be provided by Therapeutic Counselling Services (TCS), who will continue to deliver their Time for Talking counselling service.
Salus general manager Mark Kennedy said: “Employees will be able to choose from telephone counselling or have face-to-face support at offices in Airdrie, Carluke, Cumbernauld, East Kilbride, Glasgow, Hamilton or Motherwell.
As part of the telephone counselling service staff can be assured of working with the same counsellor throughout the process, with follow-up calls or face-to-face sessions agreed between the individual and the counsellor. Sessions are normally scheduled weekly.
A range of counselling appointments are available between 8am and 7pm.
TCS counsellors use a range of evidence based interventions to provide effective therapeutic support and are aligned to the stepped care approach recommended by NICE/SIGN.
NHSL employees can access these services direct by calling 0800 970 3980.
