EAP Psychologist

EAP Psychologists are registered psychologists who work for EAP providers, delivering work-based intervention programs. They provide counselling support services to employees in the workplace and help them navigate a range of personal issues as well as mental health concerns.

As an EAP Psychologist you could be organising a group session between employees who are in conflict, arranging an emergency intervention for an employee who is at high risk of self-harm and suicide, counselling an employee who has recently lost their partner in a car accident, using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help a middle-manager with anxiety, providing career guidance to a young supervisor, or attending a conference on behavioural psychology and counselling.

To succeed in this occupation you need an extensive knowledge of the latest psychotherapies and mental health interventions and a well-developed sense of empathy and compassion.
