SERVICE DETAILS
Our affordable counselling services give you the opportunity to access a safe environment to talk, helping you to improve your confidence and take control of your life.
At Projekt 42, we want to help employers help their employees live better lives at work and home.
The stresses of life and work can be a lot to handle sometimes. Stress, anxiety and depression are increasingly common in today's society, affecting 1 in 6 people in the UK each week. As an employer, it is more important than ever to help support your employees' physical and financial well-being and emotional well-being. By providing the right tools and resources through an employee assistance programme (EAP), you can help create a happier and more engaged workforce.
Yoga and fitness support for your staff...
If you are Edinburgh based and feel your employees would benefit from attending Projekt 42's fitness and yoga classes. In that case, we can provide a 12-week activities pass that includes access to up to 35 hours per week of online and outdoor activities.
Online and face-to-face mental health support...
Projekt 42 can support your staff to access online and face-to-face counselling. The Employee Assistance Programme provides counselling sessions for your staff.

What you need to know...
Information for your employees
What is counselling?
Counselling is a great way to talk about how you feel. We all experience problems and difficulties in our lives at times. There are times when it is good to have someone outside of your friends and family to talk with, especially when you need the space to speak to someone without feeling any judgement. Counselling is a process that helps people to explore options, reach decisions and make choices. Counsellors listen to you and work with you to explore any issues and feelings and help you identify ways to move forward.
How long will I have to wait to access counselling?
You will receive an automated message letting you know that we have received your online self-referral. Within
48-hours one of the Projekt 42 mental health team members will confirm the first date and time of your first counselling appointment.
Where does counselling take place?
You can attend counselling face-to-face at our Ocean Terminal venue and also can meet with your counsellor online, using the Projekt 42 Telehealth platform.
What can I talk about in counselling?
At the start of each counselling session, your counsellor will ask you if there is anything you'd like to use the time to talk about. You can bring any work related or personal issue, which may be impacting on your work or working relationships, for example:
- Challenges in your personal life
- Feelings of being unable to cope, anxiety or worry
- Finding change stressful and difficult
- Lack of confidence and self-esteem
- Personal issues affecting your work
Feedback we provide to your employer
We ask you to complete a short feedback form that asks you for comments on how you found working with this service. The form can be completed anonymously, and the information you provide is strictly confidential.
What to do if you feel you need long-term support
We understand that some people will feel that 6 counselling sessions is not long enough. If you feel you need more
support, Projekt 42 can request additional support from your employer. Where this is not possible, we will be able to
support you to continue on a self-funding basis. If this is the case, your counsellor will be able to discuss options with you.
