CrossReach Counselling

CrossReach Counselling is a professional, charitable organisation offering counselling services to the community. We have been in operation for over twenty years and have a proven and highly successful track record with hundreds of satisfied clients.

We provide donation based counselling services to individuals seeking support. In addition, we offer formal arrangements with companies and organisations through our Workplace Counselling Programme, Confidential Conversations, which employees can access as needed.

Businesses who choose to use Confidential Conversations’ Workplace Counselling Programme contribute to the wider aims of CrossReach Counselling by generating income which enables us to offer counselling more widely to other people in the community, especially to those who may otherwise be unable to afford to pay for counselling.

CrossReach Counselling is recognised as a service of excellence by COSCA, the national professional organisation for counselling in Scotland.

What Is An EAP?An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) is a suite of professional services designed to improve or maintain the health of the workplace through a range of supportive programming. This can include services like counselling that offer support to employees experiencing levels of distress that may be affecting work performance.

Backed by research, EAP services assume the experience of improved personal wellbeing will naturally lead to improved productivity and fulfilment in one’s work life. Our focus is to support the personal wellbeing of each individual through our workplace counselling services.

In addition, we support the efforts of organisations to encourage wellbeing in the workplace through education and planning designed to encourage employee participation.
