We are proud to have recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of launching our staff Counselling Service.
This important service reflects Carr Gomm’s commitment to valuing our employees, by offering our existing mental wellbeing service to our staff.
In one year of the Carr Gomm Counselling Service, staff have described the service as ‘amazing’, ‘fantastic’ and ‘life-changing’. In a recent feedback survey, all respondents stated that they had found the service provided by their Counsellor helpful, and that they would recommend the service to a colleague.
As part of Carr Gomm’s commitment to professional development and growth, the service has provided a student counsellor with a supervised placement and qualification as well as expanding to provide a confidential, empathic listening space for managers through the Reflect and Recharge sessions.
Throughout this first year, we’ve supported our staff during both challenging and joyful times. Through bereavements, relationship difficulties, and traumatic experiences. We’ve also shared in celebrations, promotions, new births, and exciting learning journeys.
The success of this service is due in no small part to the unwavering backing of our Executive team, allowing us to offer something truly different. It has been my great pleasure and privilege to establish this truly person-centred service
