Drawing on my diverse professional experience, in 2014 I founded Beyond EAP, a consultancy that offers specialist employee support for life’s toughest challenges.Beyond EAP works successfully alongside HR professionals, providing resilience-based support that goes beyond the confines of traditional Employee Assistance Programmes.The issues we work with are often intense, complex, and difficult to manage (examples are listed below). Each requires qualified support that is personally tailored to that particular employee, and I am extremely proud of the results Beyond EAP has achieved by providing exactly this.Over the years, many of our HR clients have requested online training for their line-managers, to help them navigate complex employee-related issues. Well, we listened, and in 2023 I channelled my years of expertise as a corporate maternity coach into our first online course: How to Successfully Support Employees Through Maternity Leave… and Beyond. This can be viewed and purchased here. https://www.beyondeap.co.uk/training-for-line-managers/Beyond EAP works to exacting professional and ethical standards, in private and public sector environments, with employees of all ages and backgrounds. Our aim is to provide the right support, quickly. We have seen first-hand that this can positively impact an employer’s retention rate and reputation.Below is a non-exhaustive list of our specialist support areas.Maternity and Parental:Maternity and paternity leave coachingParental birth trauma - Postnatal, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)Miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal deathFertility and conception supportAdoption coaching supportTherapeutic or elective abortionIllness, Bereavement, and Trauma:Grief and lossDiagnosis of a disease, disorder, or terminal illnessCaring responsibilities, including supporting a loved one's long-term illnessThe aftermath of suicideAssault, abuse, coercive control, sexual harassment, and rapeSexual misconduct supportDivorce and break-upBeing a victim of crimeWitnessing a terrorist attackMental, Physical, and Emotional Health:Burnout prevention Return to work coaching and supportPerimenopause supportDebt issuesGambling addiction support (via a third-party)Anger managementSubstance misuse issuesBurnout preventionStress, anxiety, and depressionWellness and wellbeing supportLong CovidEmployment:Imposter syndromeEmployee conflict resolutionRedundancyPlease see our website: www.beyondeap.co.uk for more information about our specialist services, and to download free resources.
