Help for Health Care Professionals
Health care professionals
benefit from private psychological services because having psychological
issues, or simply difficulties at work, can be a sensitive matter if you work
in the NHS. Going private can keep personal issues separate from NHS records. Our
psychologists have extensive experience working with and teaching a wide
variety of health care professionals and understand the challenges of working
in the NHS.
Some of the
psychological challenges we have helped health care professionals with in the
past include:
Stress and difficulty
relaxing;
Lack of a sustainable
work-life balance;
Social anxieties,
including fear of making presentations and worry about being judged badly
by others;
Difficulties being
appropriately assertive at work, including finding it hard to say 'no' or to
ask for help;
Feeling traumatised by
upsetting cases;
Fear of failing, making a
mistake or being incompetent;
Dealing with difficult
colleagues;
Using dysfunctional
methods of coping such as heavy drinking;
Dealing with difficult
interpersonal situations at work, such as colleagues who are incompetent,
regretted workplace affairs, or being the butt of prejudice or humour.
