Psychological Support for
Organisations & Workforces
Evidence-based psychological services supporting staff wellbeing, attendance, and performance across healthcare, education, and organisational settings.
Managing workforce mental health at an organisational level is complex. Sickness absence, presenteeism, team breakdown, critical incidents, high-risk individuals, and the pressure on managers to handle situations they were never trained for — these are real, costly, and often under-resourced challenges.
Well Balanced Minds provides specialist psychological support at an organisational level — working alongside HR teams, occupational health providers, and senior leaders to deliver clinically grounded, practically focused solutions that genuinely reduce risk and support sustainable workforce wellbeing.
We work with organisations across Northern Ireland on both one-off projects and retained support arrangements.

Our work is tailored to organisational context, workforce pressures, and operational realities.
Our Organisational Services include:
Workplace Mental Health Assessments
Structured psychological assessments for employees presenting with mental health difficulties affecting their work. Assessments focus on psychological wellbeing, functional impact, and evidence-based recommendations — providing HR and occupational health with clear, actionable information to support decision-making. We do not provide fitness to work determinations, but work alongside OH to inform a complete picture.
Return-to-Work Psychological Assessments
A specialist assessment focused on psychological readiness, coping capacity, and workplace support needs for individuals returning following mental health-related absence. Includes a written report with practical recommendations for phased return, reasonable adjustments, and ongoing monitoring.
Case Management & Care Coordination
For individuals with complex, long-term, or multi-agency needs, our case management service provides structured coordination across health, social care, and occupational settings. Particularly valuable where individuals have been absent for extended periods or where multiple services are involved. Available on a tiered basis matched to complexity.
Staff Psychological Support & Therapy
Direct psychological therapy for employees, available on a self-funded, employer-funded, or insurance basis. Particularly suited to organisations that want to provide staff access to high-quality psychological support without the waiting times of NHS or EAP services.
Leadership & Management Consultation
Confidential psychological consultation for senior leaders, managers, or HR professionals navigating complex people situations. Helps clarify thinking, inform decisions, and apply psychologically informed approaches to team and individual challenges.
Training, Workshops & Ongoing Team Support
A range of evidence-based workshops covering burnout prevention, trauma and distress, compassionate leadership, and psychological skills for the workplace. Also includes Post Event Team Reflection (PETR) following critical incidents, and regular reflective practice sessions for teams carrying emotionally demanding work.

Retainer Arrangement
For organisations that need consistent, responsive access to psychological expertise, we offer retained support arrangements tailored to your workforce size and needs.
A retainer gives your organisation:
-
Priority access to assessment, consultation, and case management — without waiting
-
A named clinical contact who understands your organisation's context and culture
-
A set number of hours per month for consultation, assessment, or staff support
-
Flexibility to use time across individual, team, and organisational level work
-
Regular review to ensure the arrangement continues to meet your needs
Retainer arrangements are particularly suited to organisations with regular or complex workforce mental health needs — including NHS departments, care providers, schools and colleges, emergency services, and larger private sector employers.
Pricing is agreed based on organisation size and scope of support required.
