Why Workplace Support Matters

Unresolved trauma and unsupported neurodiversity often lead to:

Increased sickness absence
Misunderstood behaviours mistaken for underperformance
Burnout and staff turnover
Legal and ethical risks around reasonable adjustments

Our tailored support programme helps your employees thrive — and helps you meet your Equality Act 2010 duties with confidence.

What We Offer: Specialist Employee Support

This 20-week programme offers 1:1 weekly sessions delivered either:

Onsite (available within the North West of England and North Wales – please contact us to confirm availability in your area)
Online
Or by phone

Each employee receives a bespoke coaching plan designed around their specific needs and strengths. We specialise in:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Complex Trauma
ADHD & Executive Dysfunction
Autism Spectrum Conditions
Stress & Burnout Recovery

How It Works

Step 1 – Referral/Access to Work Grant Support
We can assist employees in applying for a DWP Access to Work grant, which can fully fund the programme with no cost to the employer.

Step 2 – Needs Assessment
Each participant receives a confidential, trauma-informed assessment to identify what support will have the greatest impact.

Step 3 – Weekly Coaching & Strategy Building
We work with employees on:

Stress management & emotional regulation
Time and task planning (for ADHD & executive dysfunction)
Confidence rebuilding post-trauma
Co-created workplace adjustments
Communication & resilience strategies

Step 4 – Employer Liaison (Optional)
With the employee’s consent, we can advise managers on simple, low-cost workplace adjustments that align with legal duties under the Equality Act.
