Poor mental health is a major cause of long-term absence from work. The pandemic has shone a light on mental health like never before and the current rate of work-related depression and anxiety has skyrocketed.
A staggering 70 million work days are lost each year due to mental health problems in the UK, costing employers approximately £2.4 billion per year.
Rather than focus on how stress can negatively impact on your business I'd rather emphasise how a healthy team is a happy team, which becomes a motivated team.
Investing in your staff not only shows how much you value them but it might just be the best investment you could make for your business. As Richard Branson has said:
"If you look after your staff, they'll look after your customers. It's that simple".

Cost–benefit analysis exploring the effects of access to professional mental healthcare suggests many benefits for businesses. In particular, employers can expect:
* Reduced absenteeism
* Reduced turnover intention (staff who intend to leave their jobs)
* Increased productivity
* Decreased non-psychiatric medical costs
It has even been shown that employees with depression can decrease the morale of their colleagues, suggesting the benefits of taking swift action to support staff with mental health challenges.
Did you know there's a special relationship between mental health and pain? For example, those with chronic pain are three times as likely to develop depression as those without pain and those with depression are 60% more likely to develop low back pain.
Low back pain is a leading cause of work absences, accounting for 12 million lost days every year in the UK. Psychological approaches to pain control are now well accepted by the medical profession. All of the courses from the Online Clinic include specialist modules for pain management.
“Before I started my anxiety was hard to control and I felt like it would take over my thoughts 24-7. Since learning these techniques I have noticed how I can more easily gain composure from the thoughts that usually cause anxiety.”
“Hypnotherapy has been the most helpful approach I have tried since I was diagnosed with anxiety four years ago. It gives practical and fast-acting tools to overcome anxiety, explained in a logical and scientific, but also accessible way.”
I'm a PhD Psychologist with more than three decades of experience in helping people find lasting freedom from anxiety, depression and persistent pain.

View some free samples from the Being Your Best package, which gives full access to the entire Online Clinic. Six comprehensive evidence-based courses that you can share with each and every one of your employees and colleagues.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the Gold Standard of all psychological interventions, which teaches you to improve your mental health by changing your thinking styles and your behavioural responses. Includes bonus section for using CBT in pain management.
____________________
Mindfulness meditation, which brings you out of 'doing mode' and into the therapeutic here and now of 'being mode'. This course includes short meditations, such as One Week to Calm as well as longer meditations like Breathing in Colour and the Mindfulness Body Scan.
____________________
Pain Education is central to something known as the biopsychosocial model of health and illness, which is the most up-to-date, evidence-based approach to managing pain. Once you understand that your pain is an experience that incorporates biological, psychological and social elements, you can see more clearly how you will benefit from psychologically informed treatment modalities.
____________________
Hypnotherapy, an evidence-based course that teaches deep relaxation alongside techniques for emotional control and thought restructuring, which I refer to as giving your thoughts the LASER treatment. Imagery rescripting sessions will reprogram your brain to respond more confidently in situations that once caused anxiety. Includes audio recordings for controlling pain.
____________________
Sleeping Better is a comprehensive approach that combines sleep education with sleep hygiene, blended with instruction for self-hypnosis, which creates 'theta wave' activity of the brain. This matches the brain activity of stage 3 sleep, from where you will gently drift down into deep, refreshing sleep. Includes audio recordings for sleeping better with pain.

If you're in the business of managing change, or even if you are a parent, a friend, a manager or a colleague, you might have noticed that that telling people what to do doesn't work. In fact, worse than that, it actually reinforces resistance to change! You can read all about in my book 'Motivation and the Solution Focused Mindset', and you can learn how to become an expert communicator making use of motivational interviewing within a solution focused framework.
____________________
'How to Win Friends and Influence Clients' is for primarily for those who work in the business of behaviour management, but it's just as relevant to anyone who interacts with other people - so that's you! It begins with an understanding of the power of belief, then develops strategies for effective information-giving in ways that will not disrupt the other person's belief systems. In other words, you'll never get into a disagreement with your staff, your colleagues or anyone!
Here's a sample clip just to give you a feel for things.

In my videos I speak clearly but slowly, so if you want to speed me up just click the gear icon on the video above, then click "speed", then 1.25x to move me along more quickly - it works surprisingly well!! What's more, I recently read about some research that watching a lecture twice at double speed can benefit learning better than watching it once at normal speed. Give it a go!
If you are interested in becoming a psychologically informed employer sign up now and give every one of your staff the gift of good mental health.
If you have any questions about anything, drop me a line and I'll get back to you on the same day!
