Bringing Positive Psychology into the Workplace I Positive Wellbeing Psychology

What is a workplace Psychologist?

A workplace psychologist works with employees to manage a variety of issues that affect wellbeing and mental health. Most jobs will involve some increased stress at some point of time. This may be due to a range of factors either within the workplace or outside pressures. Speaking to a psychologist experienced in workplace stress allows you to improve your mental health and wellbeing within the workplace. At Positive Wellbeing Psychology, one of our professional and highly skilled psychologist will adopt a range of evidence-based techniques and strategies to help difficulties and struggles within the workplace whilst improving your motivation and performance levels.

Research has found high levels of occupational stress can often result in significant problems for an individual's health. This results in increasing ones’ risk of anxiety and mood-related problems. It is important to talk to a psychologist when feeling increased levels of stress and anxiety to ensure strategies are applied early on to manage mental health and wellbeing. The research has indicated better clinical outcome when reaching out earlier compared to delaying the process of talking to an experienced psychologist.
