Having a job or a profession gives us a purpose that helps us feel valued, capable, and confident in our abilities. It’s no surprise then that giving up that role for whatever reason; retirement, redundancy, or other personal commitments, may impact our psychological health.

Whether retirement age has been reached or finishing work has been forced, the feeling of loss can cause isolation, depression, and a sense of being out of control. Having someone independent from family, colleagues, and friends to talk to, may help in the process of coming to terms with new circumstances.

Try Talking counselling is here to help you through this process in preparation to ease your transition, during a decision-making period or once you have retired and you are rebuilding.

If getting up each day to go to work makes you who you are, don’t struggle to cope alone with the impact of not being able to work anymore, Talk Retirement.

Counselling sessions start from £60 but depend on the clinic and therapist. Counselling sessions are 50 minutes and are typically arranged for weekly or fortnightly appointments. Make a self-referral via the contact us form.

Bespoke group Psycho-educational sessions can be arranged with your e-sports club or organisation. Make a request via the contact us form.

Employer partnerships

Try Talking Ltd continues to look for ways to encourage people to invest in their mental health during their working life or in preparation for retirement. We are looking to partner with organisations to bring the Try Talking services to more people.

Whether it is the endorsement of our service, signposting of employees towards our support, or agreements to run clinics and psycho-educational training from your facilities, Try Talking Ltd are keen to discuss options.

As managers of organisations, we have a responsibility to empathise, support and encourage positive mental health performance as well as physical health performance of our members, but the stigma remains, and it will be stopping some of your members from seeking support today.

If as an organisation you have a duty of care to provide support to an individual you are releasing through redundancy or via retirement, our specialist transition therapy subscription may be all you need. Make a partnership request via the contact us form.

Together with Try Talking Ltd we can fight the stigma and ensure all your employees are getting the support they need and reaching their potential. Click here to find out more about the Try Talking Partnership options.
