What can 20 minutes do?

More than you would think. Twenty minutes with a qualified therapist, about whatever is actually going on, and short enough that your people will actually book it.

Provision is rarely the gap. Uptake is.

22.1 million working days were lost to work-related stress, depression and anxiety in Great Britain in 2024/25, a record high. Average EAP usage across UK employers is around 12 per cent a year.

The Oakwood

A leisure and fitness venue in Esher with around a hundred staff, many of them part-time and on shifts. The group every employer knows their existing provision never reaches.

"Someone can have a proper session with a therapist in their break and be back on the floor twenty minutes later. I didn't think that was possible."

Why this beats a usage report

If a third of your sessions are about workload, that's something you can act on, and you knew before the engagement survey told you.

Most providers can tell you how many people rang. Very few can tell you what they rang about.

It sits alongside what you already run

Your EAP and your occupational health provision stay exactly as they are, and nothing needs switching off to try this. Individual sessions stay entirely private.
