Welcome to Ascendo Psychology - Employee Assistance Program

Our Mental Wellness Support Service, also known as the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), is designed for corporate members and operated by Ascendo Psychology through qualified Counselling Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists. This service prioritizes confidentiality in mental health, offering confidential mental wellness support through telephone consultations and in-person sessions that are tailored to help individuals manage personal or work-related challenges. 

This programme emphasizes promoting psychological well-being, enhancing coping strategies, and supporting emotional resilience. It's structured as a preventive, supportive, and early-intervention service to meet the needs of our members. 

Please note that this is a non-medical service and does not include psychiatric diagnosis, clinical investigations, or the prescription of medication. Individuals in need of psychiatric treatment are encouraged to seek care from a psychiatrist directly at their own discretion, ensuring they receive the professional counselling needed.

Our Mental Wellness Support Service, also known as the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), offers members 24/7 confidential access to professional counselling for mental health support. Delivered by qualified counselling psychologists, our service assists individuals in navigating personal, work-related, and health-related challenges that may affect their overall well-being.

Access to qualified counselling psychologists ensures confidentiality in mental health while providing professional counselling support for stress, anxiety, emotional concerns, and a broad range of mental wellness issues.

We provide tailored mental wellness support that respects confidentiality in mental health, offering guidance and, when appropriate, referrals to suitable external professional counselling services.

We support HR and management through expert consultation, offering practical guidance to enhance employee mental wellness support and effectively manage staff in need of assistance. By providing clear direction while ensuring confidentiality in mental health matters, we help organisations respond proactively, support affected individuals, and foster a more positive, healthy, and harmonious workplace environment. Our professional counselling services play a key role in this process.

All interactions are handled with the highest level of confidentiality in mental health, enabling members to seek professional counselling and mental wellness support in a safe and trusted environment.
