Why a SoundBath Session in Your Workplace is a Brilliant Way to Bring Your Employees Together

In today’s fast-paced, high-pressure work environments, employee wellbeing has never been more important. Amid deadlines and constant demands, organisations are adopting innovative solutions to support their teams and create a balanced, productive workforce.

One such solution gaining popularity is SoundBath Sessions from Wellbeing Partners. This unique sound therapy promotes relaxation and mental clarity, offering employees a shared experience that fosters calm and a sense of community. Here’s why SoundBaths are an effective way to enhance workplace wellbeing:

What is a SoundBath?

A SoundBath is a meditative experience where participants relax for 20-30 minutes, surrounded by the soothing sounds of glass, crystal, and metal bowls. These instruments produce overlapping sound waves that induce deep relaxation, reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and promote mental clarity.

Enhancing Workplace Culture

Integrating SoundBaths into your wellbeing programme fosters a supportive culture and encourages a sense of community. Employees will engage in a shared experience, sparking conversation and boosting morale long after the session.

Boosting Mental Clarity and Focus

SoundBaths help clear mental fatigue by promoting relaxation, allowing the mind to reset. This mental refreshment improves clarity, concentration, and creativity, leading to better decision-making and enhanced focus in the workplace.

Stress Relief and Reduced Anxiety

Sound therapy has been shown to lower cortisol levels, helping employees combat stress and anxiety. SoundBaths activate the parasympathetic nervous system, encouraging relaxation and a clearer, calmer perspective for tackling tasks ahead.

Physical Relaxation and Improved Wellbeing

The vibrations from the SoundBath bowls help ease muscle tension and promote circulation, making it especially beneficial for employees who spend long hours at desks. Regular sessions offer a holistic approach to both physical and mental wellbeing.

A Quick, Effective Solution for Busy Teams

SoundBaths are efficient—just 20-30 minutes is enough to reap the benefits. This makes them ideal for busy employees and easy to incorporate into the workday, whether during breaks, after meetings, or as part of a wider wellbeing initiative.

In-person sessions also create a sense of collective experience, particularly beneficial for hybrid workers who may feel isolated.

By reducing stress, enhancing focus, and supporting physical relaxation, SoundBaths provide a holistic solution for a healthier, more productive workplace. Bring this calming practice into your office and offer employees the gift of relaxation, focus, and community.

Coping With Stress: a bite-sized four-part course for employees

Stress in the workplace is on the rise, with increasing numbers of workers reporting that they’re struggling to handle the stress and pressure of the workplace. This rise in workplace stress can be fuelled by increasing job demands, reduced staffing, long hours, and pressure to be always available, in addition to societal uncertainty and rising mental health issues that can reduce our resilience to stress.

If left unchecked, stress levels that exceed our capacity to cope can impact mental and physical health, increase the risk of burnout, and fuel a drop off in engagement and productivity.

Our new Coping With Stress course is a series of 4 x 30 minute bite-sized sessions – provide your employees with key evidence-based tips and techniques for coping better with stress and increasing their resilience and robustness, improving effectiveness and productivity and reducing illness and sick leave.

The sessions are delivered by our team of fully qualified and experienced workplace mental health professionals (registered by the BACP and with a minimum of 10 years post-qualification experience in workplace counselling) These shorter 30 minute sessions offer an accessible way of empowering staff to manage their own stress levels and develop the skills needed to build sustainable resilience.

Session 1: How to assess your current stress and resilience levels (30 minutes)

We all have a certain capability to absorb the stresses of life, but problems arise when the demands and stressors placed upon us exceed our resources for coping.  In this session participants are helped to understand where their pressures arise in their personal and professional lives, what coping strategies are in place and how we might begin to build greater resilience.

The session looks at:

  • The Resilience Jar – Understanding our stress levels
  • What is our stress signature?
  • Coping strategies and their efficacy

Session 2: Coping with Stress – Mindset (30 minutes)

How we think our way through stressful situations and experiences often inadvertently sustains and exacerbates the experience of stress.  How we feel about stressful situations is the trigger point of the stress response. Simple but effective changes in mindset can help us make better decisions in the face of stress, cultivating greater equilibrium:

The session looks at:

  • Recognising when our thoughts are the trigger for our stress
  • Gaining perspective
  • Developing the skill of being present in the moment

Session 3: Coping with Stress – Actions (30 minutes)

There are a variety of behavioural changes that we can weave into our life than can help us manage and reduce stress, and dramatically improve our resilience.  Exploring the role of physical activity, knowing when and how to take breaks and having the confidence to talk about your stresses and mental health are all covered in this session.

The session looks at:

  • Exercise and stress reduction
  • The importance of breaks
  • Setting and communicating boundaries
  • Connection with others

Session 4: Improving Sleep for Greater Resilience (30 minutes)

Stress can impact our sleep, and sleep deprivation increases our susceptibility to stress! This session focuses on practical psychology-based techniques which are proven to improve sleep and maintain good sleep over the long term. We use principles from the model of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i).

The session looks at:

  • The psychological connection between bed and sleep
  • How to create automatic behaviours that facilitate good sleep
  • The circadian rhythm and consistent wake up time

The Coping With Stress course offers employees a practical, evidence-based approach to managing stress and enhancing resilience. Through four accessible 30-minute sessions, participants will gain essential skills to not only cope with workplace stress but also foster long-term mental wellbeing. By providing tools to assess stress, shift mindsets, introduce positive actions, and improve sleep, this course empowers employees to take control of their health and productivity.

Boost Workplace Wellbeing with Recovery Counselling for Employees on Sick Leave

Workplace absenteeism due to mental health concerns such as anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, and trauma is on the rise. In the UK, the average number of sick days taken by employees has surged by 55% since 2019[1]. For employees who are off work for extended periods, the lack of a tailored recovery plan can lead to avoidable prolonged absence, increased anxiety about returning to work, and diminished productivity upon their return.

Bite-Sized Lunch & Learns for Autumn and Winter

We are excited to launch our new range of Seasonal Bite-Sized Lunch & Learns – a series of five x 30 minute winter wellbeing workshops for your employees to learn key tips and techniques for boosting their wellbeing throughout autumn and winter.  The sessions are delivered by our team of fully qualified and experienced professionals.

These shorter sessions offer a timely and accessible way of reminding your staff about vital self-care actions for staying well and productive over the colder, darker months.

Bite-Sized Lunch & Learns – 30 minutes each, live online for your employees

Combatting Loneliness in Winter: Loneliness and isolation are common experiences felt by a growing number of people, particularly over the autumn and winter months. Loneliness is a risk factor for anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.. This session looks at how loneliness can develop, and practical steps to bolster connection and a sense of belonging. Topics include: 

  • Intentional connection – how to boost engagement with friends, family and community
  • The importance of warmth and exercise
  • Conscious social media usage
  • Self-care for supporting mental wellbeing

Movement for Mental Health: Humans evolved to be active every day, but the colder months see most working people moving and exercising less, impacting mood and mental wellbeing and overall health. This session explores strategies for how employees can incorporate movement into break times, and find time for enjoyable, regular exercise throughout winter, bolstering both mental and physical wellbeing. Topics include:

  • The link between movement and  mental health
  • Stepping up outdoors activity in daily life
  • Gentle movement and stretching for stress relief
  • Mindful movement, flow state and resilience

Nutrition Basics for Winter: As we move into the autumn and winter there’s a shift what we desire and require in terms of food and nutrition.

  • When to consider supplementation
  • Immune-enhancing foods

Get Your Sleep Sorted: Good mental health is underpinned by heathy sleep, and in the winter months our sleep drive and sleeping patterns can change.  This short masterclass teaches the basics of becoming a “good sleeper” using psychology-based techniques – a highly successful method designed to combat insomnia, to cultivate the foundations of rest needed for good mental health wellbeing. Topics include:

  • Steps to become a good sleeper
  • From poor sleeper to good sleeper – the process
  • The psychological connection between bed and sleep 

Avoiding Anxiety in Winter:  Fewer daylight hours, a seemingly monochrome environment, the damp, the cold and the relentlessness of the winter months are often associated with depression, however the winter environment can be a trigger for anxiety too.  In this session, we explore a variety of anxiety reduction techniques, giving employees a toolkit to feel more calm and content during winter. Topics include: 

  • Boost your serotonin and dopamine 
  • Reframing anxiety – not an enemy to be defeated
  • The Mindful Pause – anxiety reduction in the moment
  • Grounding, and settling the mind

The ‘Malingering Myth’: Why employees keep mental health struggles hidden in the workplace

There is a disturbing narrative gaining traction in professional circles that argues that many employees suffering from mental health issues are “malingering” – exaggerating or even faking symptoms to facilitate time off work. 

The idea that large numbers of people are using mental health as a convenient excuse to avoid work is a myth.  Whilst there has always been (and always will be) those who “pull a sickie” and exaggerate mental and physical ailments, this is very much the minority and should be acknowledged as such.

However, this myth persists and, more seriously, it serves to divert attention away from a much more serious issue – the fact that many employees with genuine mental health challenges are avoiding disclosing these issues or seeking help for fear of how they will be perceived.

The growth of mental health awareness in the workplace has encouraged more open conversations on the subject, but it has also sparked a backlash.  Increasingly the discussion around employee mental health is tinged with scepticism and even hostility, with many in senior management dismissing mental health issues as exaggerated at best, and, at worst, completely fabricated. 

This ‘malingering myth’ is inaccurate and dangerous.  It allows people to dismiss what are real health concerns, to ignore discussion around modifying work practices that may be causing mental health difficulties and, perhaps most concerning, it stops people who are really suffering from speaking up.

A series of studies from across the globe have highlighted that, contrary to what the ‘malingering myth’ suggests, people with mental health issues are unlikely to seek time off work, with many employees loathe to even disclose they are suffering for fear of the stigma and consequences it may bring in the workplace[i]

One study highlighted that 91% of Britons, 92% of Americans and 90% of Australians believe that people with mental health issues are treated differently in the workplace and therefore do not disclose or seek support[ii].  The impact is highlighted in the conclusion of a study by the American Psychiatric Association:

More than half of people with mental illness don’t receive help for their disorders. Often, people avoid or delay seeking treatment due to concerns about being treated differently or fears of losing their jobs and livelihood. That’s because stigma, prejudice and discrimination against people with mental illness are still very much a problem“.[iii]

So, contrary to the unhelpful idea that people are likely to use mental health as an excuse to avoid work, the truth is that people are so concerned with how they might be perceived in the workplace, they continue to work, whilst suffering in silence.

Research shows that in-house support for employee mental health reduces the recovery time in comparison to employees who seek external professional support.[iv] Employees who soldier on in silence risk worsening their mental health and reducing their engagement and performance.  Organisations that sustain a culture of suspicion and stigma will therefore perform worse than those that recognise and support employee mental health.

It is therefore both a duty of care for your employees and good business sense to offer open support for mental health at work, and there are three clear approaches to achieve this.

Employee Counselling is an intelligent, supportive and economical option for organisations. It offers both short and long-term gains for individuals and organisations.  You may find it useful to introduce regular employee counselling sessions for employees, each led by a multi-qualified specialist.  Alternatively urgent employee mental health sessions can be booked on a case-by-case basis, providing a cost-effective, high-quality alternative to the more familiar EAP approach.

To compliment employee counselling organisations should consider training their managers and leaders. Our flagship Mental Health for Training for Managers is highly effective at giving managers the confidence, knowledge and skills to support a team member who may be struggling with a mental health issue. Participants will become adept at identifying when a team member is in crisis, learn the conversational skills required to help them, and develop the know-how to signpost them to professional support.

Finally, it is good forward planning for organisations to offer programmes that empower employees to support themselves if they are concerned about their mental wellbeing.  Our How to Improve your Mental Health workshop uses straightforward, evidence-based strategies and techniques to provide employees with practical steps for enhancing all aspects of their mental health.  These techniques help people take timely actions to stop these issues developing into crises.

Insight into Wellbeing Partner’s Senior Counsellor and Presenter

  • Alex Macfarlane MBACP
  • Fully qualified mental health professional
  • Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
  • 10+ years post qualification experience in workplace mental health support services

What do you enjoy about working as a counsellor, mental health trainer and presenter for Wellbeing Partners?

Working for Wellbeing Partners has afforded me many opportunities to pursue my professional interests in an environment where I am connecting with people and making a difference. I have always had a deep-rooted interest in helping individuals realise their potential, to fully utilise their capabilities and talents, but so often people are held back from this due to adverse mindsets.  I was particularly interested in the significant impact that workplace environments have on mental health and overall well-being.

Working for Wellbeing Partners provides me with many different ways to help employees manage stress, improve their work-life balance, and enhance their productivity and overall job satisfaction.  I have the regular one-to-one counselling work that helps individuals manage stressors and to flourish in the face of professional and personal challenges. I get to work at managerial and even organisational level to help train and inform organisational approach and policy to mental wellbeing.  In addition to this, I deliver specialised wellbeing workshops, offering practical mental health support to employees on a variety of important topics.  These approaches allow me to support large numbers of individuals and gives me a real sense of professional fulfilment.

What are some common themes that employees come to see you about, and how do you support them?

Common themes that I have work with include, anxiety, stress, burnout, interpersonal conflicts, sleep-issues and work-life balance challenges. In recent years too I have noticed a greater demand one of my specialist areas, that of supporting neurodivergence and mental health. I support employees by using scientifically validated techniques to help people develop healthier, more effective habits. I aim to create a safe and collaborative space, whilst remaining objective and non-judgemental, which is conducive for self-exploration. We work together to identify and change their thought and behaviour patterns that are preventing them from living a fulfilling and meaningful life. The employee will learn strategies, so that they can better cope with challenges they may face in the future.

I conduct workshops and training on topics such as how to manage stress, mental health training for managers, relationship building workshops, and how to improve one’s sleep.

What role does a workplace counsellor play in enhancing a greater wellbeing culture within an organization?

A workplace counsellor plays a vital role in promoting a healthy and supportive culture within an organisation. It helps to address individual employee concerns and identify possible longer term mental health issues, whilst providing resources to support the individual moving forward. I help the individual to feel empowered and valued, which can increase feelings of wellbeing, which leads to greater productivity in the workplace. Additionally, Wellbeing Partners work with the Human Resources and People’s Team to make sure our workshops and trainings are tailored to meet the needs of the organisation. Which adds to the wellbeing culture of a company by promoting openness and support for mental health.

Have you got a success story from one of your counselling sessions that have positively impacted an employee?

One of my clients was suffering with generalised anxiety and burnout, which was affecting their performance at work as well as their relationships. Through our counselling sessions, we identified the origin of their anxiety and worked together to develop appropriate coping skills. Over time, the individual reported symptom relief and better able to function in their role at work. This had a positive impact on their wellbeing which gave them greater headspace to pursue their goals and focus on developing their relationships.

World Mental Health Day 10 October 2024 – this year’s theme is “Workplace Mental Health”

  • World Mental Health Day 2024 is 10th October
  • This year’s theme is “Mental Health in the Workplace”
  • Workers are experiencing higher levels of exhaustion, stress and burnout, anxiety and insomnia
  • Prioritising events and specialist counselling in your workplace to celebrate World Mental Health Day key to setting the right tone

    October 10th is World Mental Health Day 2024.  This year the theme is “It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace”, a much needed opportunity to focus our attention on the mental health challenges faced in the modern workplace.

    Unfortunately, the number of people experiencing mental health issues in the workplace remains high. A quarter of UK workers have reported being unable to cope with the stresses and pressures of the workplace, whilst last year, 1 in 5 employees took time off work because of mental health issues[i].  Shockingly, over 50% of all sick leave in the UK is a result of stress, depression or anxiety[ii].  Part of this is the mental health legacy of the pandemic, but there is much in the day-to-day demands of the workplace that is contributing to these issues.

    Long hours, being on-call for emails and messages outside work hours, the shifts in energy required by hybrid working, a lack of work-life balance and troubles with workplace relationships are all factors contributing to mental health pressures and if people do not have the support and tools to cope, then the workplace mental health crisis will continue.

    If you would like to put on some events in your workplace to celebrate World Mental Health Day and help support your employees, you have come to the right place.  Wellbeing Partners are workplace mental health specialists. We have a range of workshops and training services as well as a specialist workplace counselling service, all of which are available to support employee mental health.

    Workshops

    Central to the work of Wellbeing Partners is empowering people to support their own mental health through our wellbeing workshops. These 60-minute interactive sessions give your employees practical skills, and they cover a range of topics.  Some that you may want to run for World Mental Health Day include:

    How to Improve Your Mental Health – mental health a continuum and this session explores how certain behaviours and techniques help us move towards, and sustain, good mental health. Focusing on practical day-to-day changes and tips, this session provides a thorough overview of how we can take back control over our mental health and help ourselves be happier, engaged and productive.

    Overcoming Burnout – this session provides an overview of the condition, the underlying causes, signs and symptoms, and focuses primarily on a range of practical, evidence-based solutions to reduce the symptoms of burnout. 

    Finding the Right Work-life Balance – a lack of work-life balance is a key driver of workplace stress, and this workshop shows how we can ensure we are engaged and productive at work whilst also setting the necessary boundaries needed for rest and good mental wellbeing.

    Introduction to Mindfulness/Mindfulness for Stress Reduction – mindfulness is clinically proven to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.  These workshops demystify mindfulness, put it in its scientific context and show people how to use this powerful skill to support their mental health.

    Get Moving for Mental Health – a sedentary lifestyle will negatively impact your mental health, an increasingly bigger issue as many of us work from home and move less frequently. This session shows the importance of regular movement and how it can be incorporated into a busy working day.

    Managing Stress and Enhancing Resilience – the session provides participants with the knowledge and tools to reduce their stress and anxiety and increase their sense of mental wellbeing, and to improve and enhance their own resilience and mental health.

    Resilience: Taming the Inner Critic – utilising traditional resilience skills, growth mindset techniques and cutting-edge research into self-compassion and resilience, this session endows individuals with practical skills and a deep rooted sense of strength in the face of life’s challenges, both professional and personal.

    Neurodivergent Mental Health – neurodivergence is a risk factor for mental health issues and emotional dysregulation due to the slight differences in how the nervous system functions for those with ADHD, autism and other neurodivergences. This one-hour workshop provides a comprehensive range of self-care tips for your neurodivergent employees to effectively manage their mental health and wellbeing.

    Mental Health Training Services

    For World Mental Health Day, you might also consider using our training services that allow managers, people teams and employees to explore how they manage mental health challenges in the workplace and how to encourage psychologically safe and appropriate discussions on these issues.

    Mental Health Training for Managers – This two-hour course provides your managers with the confidence, knowledge, skills and boundaries to support a team member who maybe struggling with their mental health. The course teaches managers how to create a psychologically safe environment and how to signpost individuals onto the professional support services in an effective and appropriate way.

    Talking Mental Health – This 90-minute session for all employees focuses on mental health issues, the recovery model, plus the skills for supporting others and improving our own mental health. It covers a wide range of aspects around mental health and mental health issues and provides participants with practical steps and advice to enhance their own mental wellbeing.

    Workplace Counselling

    Wellbeing Partners are experts at providing specialist workplace counselling that is distinctly different to the EAP model. Our broad approach to workplace wellbeing means that smaller issues can be prevented from developing into crises and more complex issues.  Our counselling services focus on creating the framework and confidence that people need to maintain their mental health once the sessions are concluded, reducing likelihood of later relapses. In-House Workplace Counselling is not a luxury, but an intelligent, supportive and economical response to mental health issues. It offers both short and long-term gains for individuals and organisations.
