What is Employee Assist?
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is a workplace-based support service designed to help employees manage personal and professional challenges that may affect their wellbeing, performance, or attendance. Traditionally, EAPs offer short-term counselling, mental health resources, and referral services.
At ProFriends Coaching and Mentoring, I recognise that many workplaces struggle with the rising costs of an EAP provision causing them to be limited, reduced or removed entirely. My service offers a flexible, person-centred alternative—providing structured, confidential 1:1 coaching and mentoring or counselling support tailored specifically to the demands of your staff.
Where EAPs often provide time-limited or reactive support, ProFriends offers a proactive and ongoing space for reflection, emotional regulation, resilience building, and personal growth—helping staff feel genuinely supported in both their professional roles and personal lives.
My Specialties
I specialise in helping staff manage stress, improve time management, and explore career development, while building lasting resilience and confidence. I also offer tailored coaching for individuals navigating significant life transitions such as divorce, retirement, or a change in role or direction. For those experiencing deeper-rooted personal challenges, including trauma, ProFriends can also provide access to person-centred counselling through a trusted associate—ensuring that each individual receives the right level of support in a compassionate and confidential space.
