Employee Assistance Programme

Modern day life can be highly pressured with individuals facing a variety of issues such as family problems, marital or relationship difficulties, bereavement, work pressure or mental or physical health issues. In recognition of these factors, Aberdeenshire Council offers an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provided by Vivup which enables employees and managers to access confidential, independent, professional advice and counselling support when they need it.

Many people feel that a counsellor is on their side, someone who can offer different kinds of support: practical; emotional; and psychological. People go to counselling for many reasons but whatever the underlying cause is, it’s a way of ‘fighting back’ and resolving what it is that is troubling them.

To access telephone advice, support, and counselling or to arrange face to face counselling, contact Vivup on:
