Sometimes daily life can seem full of challenges
So it’s reassuring to know you’ve got somewhere to turn when you need reliable information or support, and someone to talk to when things don’t run as smoothly as you’d like.
As a corporate PHC member you and your family have access to a comprehensive counselling and support service provided by AXA Health Services Limited. This counselling and support service is only available to members aged 16 and over.
We all have times when we feel low, anxious or overwhelmed. But with appropriate guidance and support, there are practical ways to ease anxiety, manage stress, lift our mood and sleep better. Early intervention can make a huge difference to our performance at work and to the quality of our lives.
Additionally, the service also provides expert guidance on everyday matters such as legal and financial concerns, relationship issues and consumer rights.
Remote support for everyday worries
Fast access to fully qualified mental health professionals just a phone call away or through online chat, with no GP referral needed.
Face-to-face counselling
Up to eight face-to-face or remote scheduled short-term counselling sessions with all complex cases assessed and directed by fully trained psychologists, where clinically appropriate.
Online help when you need it
