Qinesis launches pilot counselling support service
Business growth consultancy Qinesis is piloting a new counselling and psychotherapy support service to address the mental health stigma in sectors with low engagement. The new programme, titled Qi Therapy, will be run by qualified psychotherapists to assess the engagement of sectors such as aerospace, rail, automotive and steel fabrication, where take-up of therapy support services are low compared to the public and service sectors. The Derbyshire-based firm works with businesses
across the UK on a range of growth support services, including consultancy, coaching and training. In the past three months, it has noticed a significant increase in mental health discussions with clients.
‘Therapy can still be seen as a sign of weakness, when the reality is very different’
Lindhurst Engineering managing director Martin
Qinesis chief visionary officer Dr Cham Kang said: “Even in 2021, there is a stigma attached to psychotherapy in the UK. “Therapy can still be seen as a sign of weakness,
when the reality is very different with much of the UK PLC coming to terms with the impact of mental health on its people and business performance – and we’ve seen many of our clients investing to support employees. “The take-up of such support in industry remains low and we hope this pilot can address that.”
Rigley, who is also a coaching and mentoring director at Qinesis, believes the Qi Theory pilot will help workers in industry address the root causes of their challenges. He said: “If you’re not getting to the cause of the challenge, you are essentially shackled to the challenge and all its manifestations. Psychotherapy gets to the root cause and that’s something we engineers should appreciate when solving work problems.” Should the pilot prove successful, Qi Therapy will be
rolled out as a service from Qinesis to support people in industry across the East Midlands.
