In-house psychologist:
Service in a nutshell
Why?
When work becomes burdensome or something hinders productive thinking, it’s important to address the situation immediately.
Many individuals find themselves grappling with increasing stress, and workplace challenges often linger unresolved. The most straightforward way to address these situations or seek support is often through an informal chat with a psychologist, without the need for scheduled appointments or referrals.
Our in-house psychologist is present at your workplace on specific days, ready to assist with challenges or inquiries related to both work and other facets of life.
What?
A familiar psychologist in a familiar environment lowers the threshold to talk or seek help
The In-house psychologist service makes counseling support easily accessible at your workplace, in a familiar setting. Employees can have a conversation whenever they feel the need. If necessary, the psychologist can guide them to other services supporting work and workability, such as occupational health.
Select the most suitable psychologist from Heltti, establish follow-up procedures with the psychologist, and introduce them to your staff.

In many cases, mental support services in workplaces are targeted towards those who already have mental health symptoms or are at risk of impaired work capacity. This is the right approach. However, it is also crucial to ensure that those who are just beginning to experience stress or generally have well-functioning lives receive reinforcement of their resources and preventive support for various everyday situations.
