To NHS colleagues & Teachers — we see you, we hear you.
You’re on the front line. The workload, responsibility, and emotional intensity you face every day can take a real toll. If you’re feeling worn out, anxious, or simply not yourself — help is available.
What many NHS staff are experiencing:
High workloads, staff shortages and ongoing pressure contribute to serious work-related stress and burnout — nearly half of NHS staff reported feeling unwell because of work-related stress in the last 12 months.
What many Teachers are experiencing:
Education staff report low wellbeing and continuing pressure from pupil and parent behaviour, workload and inspection regimes — the Teacher Wellbeing Index highlights ongoing concern for the sector’s mental health.
Why some staff don’t use EAPs (and what research says):
EAPs can be helpful for short-term, early intervention, but many employees are reluctant to use them because of concerns about confidentiality, short session limits, one-off brief support rather than ongoing therapy, or fears about HR involvement. Studies exploring EAP uptake and employee perceptions show these barriers affect utilisation.
That said, EAPs have been shown to be effective for many employees as a first-line response — but they are often limited in scope for complex, long-term, identity-based or trauma-related work.
Why choose Celestial-Therapy.com (and how we can help):
At Celestial Therapy we specialise in culturally-aware, trauma-informed counselling tailored to the pressures NHS staff and Teachers face, so we offer:
• Flexible appointments (in-person or online) to fit shift patterns and school timetables.
• BACP-registered practitioners who provide continuity of care — the same counsellor session-to-session if you choose.
• Short-term practical support (CBT-informed tools, stress reduction, return-to-work planning) and longer-term therapy where needed (grief, trauma, complex personal histories).
• Culturally infused practice and an intersectional approach so identity-based stress, microaggressions or marginalisation are understood and respected.
• A confidential private service independent of your employer — your sessions are not visible to HR unless you choose otherwise.
