Counselling for workplace bullying
Being belittled, excluded or undermined at work can shake your confidence and follow you home. Workplace bullying counselling helps you make sense of what happened, protect your wellbeing and rebuild your self-belief.
Does this sound familiar?
- You dread going to work, or feel sick on Sunday evenings.
- A manager or colleague criticises, shouts at or humiliates you.
- You’re being left out, overloaded or set up to fail.
- You’ve started doubting your own competence.
- You replay conversations from work long after the day ends.
- You’re signed off, or thinking of leaving, and feel lost.
The impact of bullying at work
Workplace bullying is repeated behaviour that undermines, intimidates or humiliates you. It can be loud and obvious, or subtle and hard to prove, which can leave you questioning yourself.
Its effects can include anxiety, low mood, poor sleep and loss of confidence, and for some people it can feel traumatic. None of this means you’re weak or oversensitive.
How I can help
Together we can:
- make sense of what happened and why it has affected you so much
- rebuild confidence and trust in your own judgement
- manage anxiety, anger and rumination
- plan how to respond, whether that’s speaking up, raising a grievance or moving on
- prepare for returning to work, or for a new role
Counselling can support you emotionally, but I can’t give legal or HR advice. ACAS (for UK workers) offers free, impartial advice on workplace rights.

Is it bullying, or am I being too sensitive?
If behaviour at work is repeatedly making you feel belittled, scared or undermined, it deserves to be taken seriously. We can talk it through without judgement.
Can counselling help if I’ve been signed off work?
Yes. Many people use time off to recover with support, and to plan their next steps, whether that’s returning or moving on.
Will my employer know I’m having counselling?
No. Private counselling is confidential, and your employer won’t be told unless you choose to share it.
