Employee Assistance Program
Ashcliffe Psychology is a provider of Employee Assistance Services to a number of small to medium organisations and a range of client organisations. These include resource sector contractors, transportation, energy generation, trades, law enforcement, security, human services and a number of government agencies.
Ashcliffe delivers counselling services via face-to-face appointments at our West Perth Office, Phone Counselling and Telehealth, using a secure Zoom link. We can also guide clients through on-line counselling or therapy, with well-established providers.
All of these services are conducted in the strictest confidence.
These services provide confidential counselling to employees, as well as training, mental health and well-being consulting services.
The issues employees commonly present with include:
- Relationship problems
- Anxiety concerns
- Depression and mood problems
- Parenting and family issues
- Stress and coping problems
- Sleep and fatigue issues
- Conflict problems
- Alcohol and Drug misuse
Leader Support Service
Ashcliffe also provides a Leader Support Service, which allows Managers and Supervisors to call, in confidence, for advice regarding a work situation or concerns about someone in their team. These calls are responded to by an Ashcliffe Director.
FITNESS FOR WORK ASSESSMENTS
When an employee is due to return to work after an incident or absence, or there are concerns about that person’s mental health, that employee may be referred for a FFW Assessment. FFW assessments often occur whenever there is an objective and reasonable basis for believing that the employee may be unable to safely and/or effectively perform his or her duties due to a psychological condition or impairment. This may be after a long illness, family trauma, injury, or serious safety or AOD breach. It also occurs when the employer is seeking confirmation that the employee is psychologically fit to return to work, beyond a medical practitioner’s opinion. Ashcliffe Psychology can provide a detailed outline of what a FFW assessment entails and how to make a FFW referral info@ashcliffe.com.au
