Workplace Wellbeing

Therapeutic Support for Organisations and Employees

Talk in the Bay supports workplace wellbeing by working alongside organisations that care about their people and understand the link between mental health, engagement, and sustainable performance.

We provide therapeutic support for employees that can be shaped around the needs of your business. This may include individual therapy, short-term interventions, training, or ongoing support, depending on what is most appropriate for your team.

Our workplace wellbeing services are delivered across Cardiff and Swansea, from our professional therapy rooms in Cardiff Bay and Swansea city centre, as well as directly within the workplace. This flexibility allows organisations to support staff in a way that is practical, accessible, and proportionate to their needs.

While in-person therapy is often the preferred option, all workplace wellbeing services can also be delivered online where this is more suitable for your organisation or your employees.

If you would like to discuss how workplace wellbeing support could work within your organisation, please get in touch or download our printable brochure for more information on our workplace wellbeing services.

Flexible Workplace Wellbeing Locations

Cardiff, Swansea, Online, and On-Site

We recognise that no two workplaces are the same. Our workplace wellbeing services are designed to fit around how your organisation operates and what will work best for your employees.

Talk in the Bay can deliver therapeutic support across a range of locations, allowing organisations to choose from our therapy locations based on practical need, confidentiality, and accessibility.

Our Therapy Rooms

Employees can attend sessions at our calm and welcoming therapy rooms in Cardiff Bay, located opposite Cardiff Bay train station, or in Swansea city centre. These settings provide a confidential and neutral space away from the workplace.

At Your Workplace

Where appropriate, therapy can be delivered on-site at your premises across the Cardiff and Swansea areas. Workplace-based sessions can reduce barriers to access, limit time away from work, and make support easier for employees to engage with.

Online Therapy

For remote teams or organisations with limited flexibility, workplace wellbeing support can also be delivered online. Online sessions provide the same level of professional care and confidentiality while allowing employees to access support from a suitable location.

Whether you are supporting one employee or developing a wider workplace wellbeing approach, services can be delivered through a single setting or a combination of locations.
