Welcome to the Space to Breathe Employee Assistance Programme
As a voluntary sector organisation, we’ve designed an programme to support staff of other voluntary, charitable or social enterprise organisations. This is a support system made by the voluntary sector, for the voluntary sector.
Welcome to your support portal. Below you’ll find details of the support you can access and ways you can make the most of what's on offer.
GETTING PERSONAL SUPPORT
We are able to offer you a number of elements of personal support to help you with your own mental health and wellbeing.
Free Wellbeing Session with Andy Freeman at Space to Breathe - use the link to book a 60 minute session. This will be a place to be listened to, to be signposted to further support and to be given free and helpful advice. This will follow a Mental Health First Aid approach.
Support if you’re struggling due to stress and anxiety. If you’re finding stress is a challenge to you, you can book a conversation with Andy to explore options and techniques. This will be a CBT informed approach and the session will last 60 minutes.
Both these support options are confidential and can be arranged directly.
You can email us at anytime - andy@spacetobreatheuk.com or text 07513821399. We promise to reply within 24 hours. You can also reach us on our landline 0114 2412 794 which is picked up 9am-5pm (sometimes as we are a small team the number may go to answerphone but again we promise to reply quickly.) If you are in urgent need ring 111 option 2 or 999 for help.
We can also offer staff the chance to access reduce cost counselling and coaching sessions with our team. If you’d like to take advantage of this, please contact your HR manager who will make arrangements with us.
Online training and events

We will also offer regular in house webinars for you and details will be shared internally when they’re taking place.
