Organisational trauma is by its nature rare and unexpected. Trauma comes from the Greek word which means ‘pierce’.
A traumatic incident can pierce the psychological defences of employees and organisations resulting in high levels of distress, anxiety and disorientations. At Central London Counselling Services Ltd we will work alongside you to provide effective psychological help, information and support whilst you have to deal with operational, legal, health and safety psychological demands of responding professionally to all levels of the incident as it unfolds and develops.

Our Consultants are qualified and experienced in delivering clinically effective trauma interventions and therapies fit for the 21st century; they are qualified in National Institute for Health & Clinical Excellence (NICE) approved trauma therapies such as EMDR.

We especially appreciate the multiple responsibilities and stresses leaders and managers face when dealing with traumatic events such as keeping the operation running whilst liaising with the Health & Safety Executive, the emergency services and other key stakeholders.

We make it a priority to ensure that your leaders and managers are provided with the most effective guidance, information and support. We deliver holistic interventions tailored to your organisation and the specifics of the incidents. We do not apply a ‘one size fits all approach’.
