EAP – Access to Therapy • Triage to determine best pathway for the employee: • PAM provides access to BACP qualified counsellors for both generic or CBT counselling via the following: • Face to Face Counselling within 20 miles of an employee’s home or workplace (90%+ within just 15 miles) • Telephone Counselling / Secure Video Conference • The PAM Assist’s telephone counselling team is unique in that all Telephone Counsellors are employees of PAM Assist. • E-Counselling (Online) • Counselling & CBT as Standard We also provide access to other therapies such as Occupational Psychology & EMDR
PAM Assist Service Delivery Telephone and/or SVC Services We can offer both Telephone & Online Secure Video (SVC) support. Counselling delivered via telephone or SVC is delivered by directly employed therapists. This intervention typically requires 6 x 45 min sessions delivered over 6-8 weeks. Telephone counselling is carried out by PAM Assist employed counsellors, based at our service support centre.
PAM Assist Service Delivery • Face to Face Counselling • Where face-to-face counselling is outlined as the best therapeutic pathway, PAM can offer this delivery method through the following means: • At PAM Clinics (of which there are 60 UK Wide); • Client sites; and • Associate Counsellor premises. • Our infrastructure gives the ability to provide NHSBT with access to counselling and CBT from our own clinics throughout the UK, as well via our accredited network of over 600 BACP qualified counsellors • Face-to-Face intervention uses the same skills and techniques but is delivered where a face to face relationship is considered more beneficial, or NICE guidelines do not advocate the use of telephone / virtual delivery. EMDR therapy or occupational psychology may also be recommended and provided by PAM. • Focused training is also provided alongside therapy to reduce the likelihood of future occurrences – e.g. employees referred with any form of stress are provided with education and training to help build resilience and cope when stressful situations arise. • Face to face counsellors offer appointments throughout the day/evening to ensure access to an appointment that is most convenient to the individual member of staff. We are very aware that most people want their use of the EAP to remain entirely confidential, so prefer to meet with a counsellor outside of their work commitments.

Management Support Management Support If a manager is experiencing conflict or managing difficult behaviour or performance issues within their team, or they are supporting an employee through a bereavement or other significant loss or health issue, PAM Assist can give advice on managing the situation appropriately and sensitively whilst maintaining the effectiveness of the team and, importantly, enabling the manager to focus on the work related tasks whilst supporting the team member to access the right support for the more personal issues. Support focuses on the emotional and psychological wellbeing of the team but also helps the manager identify additional support needs he/she may need. In addition to assessing/triaging the issues being presented, we are also mindful of the duty of care the manager has more widely, within the team and as part of the management team within your organisation.
