How Small Businesses Can Support Mental Health Without Big Budgets
At Barbour Coaching, we believe every employee deserves access to compassionate and confidential support — no matter the size of the business they work for.
Yet time and again, we hear from small business owners who are struggling to support their team’s mental health. It’s not due to a lack of care — it’s the result of:
Limited resources or formal wellbeing systems
Owners and leaders neglecting their own self-care
Pressure on small teams to keep going, even when someone’s struggling
No time for formal training or long support sessions
A lack of awareness around what’s available and how to access it
We know the impact this can have — on morale, on productivity and on people’s lives. According to Mind, 1 in 6 workers experience a mental health problem each week.
That’s why we created our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) — a flexible, realistic and affordable monthly support service designed specifically for small businesses with under 250 employees.
With Barbour Coaching’s EAP, your team gains access to:
Confidential coaching and counselling
Flexible, no-fuss packages tailored to your needs
Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
Proactive support to reduce burnout and absence
A boost in engagement, resilience, and workplace culture
Mental health support doesn’t have to be complicated, clinical, or costly.
It just needs to be available when it matters most.
Whether you have a team of 5 or 50, you can create a supportive and thriving workplace with the right tools in place.
