OMHS currently provides EAP counselling to a number of companies. We believe our specialist understanding of both psychological treatment and the real world demand of today’s workplaces gives us a unique position to be able to provide counselling that is practical, goal focused and that can assist both managers and employees in resolving issues and disputes at work. At the same time we are familiar with workplace stress and trauma issues and have broad experience in supporting employees following these events.
OMHS Understanding

OMHS understands that the first step in assisting management and staff is to recognise the individual’s needs and to respond with the appropriate resource to deliver a solution.
