Work-Related Problems

The workplace can give rise to problems which are difficult to address and, as a result, become more serious. If left unresolved, these can contribute to stress, anxiety or depression leading to poor performance, absence and feelings of failure. They can also impact on relationships at home.

Common problems at work which often give rise to difficulties include:

Not relating well to a manager or subordinate
Adjusting to changes in working practices
Working in a team
Coping with increased workload/reduced personnel
Losing colleagues through redundancy
The threat of redundancy
Adjusting to working off-site, either at home or at a customer site
Adjusting to returning to on-site working
Mergers, takeovers and restructuring
Too much travel
Tight deadlines

This list is by no means exhaustive.

A counsellor who understands workplace issues can often help unravel the problems you are experiencing, casting new light on your situation and helping you decide the best approach to take to resolve matters.
