How We Can Support
Your Organisation
Your Organisation
Our trauma specialists are trained to offer guidance and support to organisations of all shapes and sizes. No matter how large your organisation is, the specific industry you work within, or your location, we aim to find a way to effectively help provide all the crisis support your staff may need. When you work in a field that exposes your team to all sorts of traumatic images, stories, or experiences, then offering counselling and support is essential.
General Support
FD Consultants seeks to offer support that takes whatever form your specific organisation needs. Whether you need tools and techniques, general advice, or simply a support specialist you can reach out to, we’re here to provide whatever we can do to strengthen your workplace.
Training and Support
Equipping your staff with the tools needed to cope in their work environment is one of the most empowering things you can do to support them. We can offer your team a variety of training and coaching sessions. This could include stress management classes, or perhaps workshops to help build resilience in your field.
Trauma and Crisis Support
When your staff is facing traumatic experiences, be it due to their industry or something happening within the team, you want to ensure you are offering professional, empathetic, and caring services. FD Consultant’s trauma specialists are trained to handle a crisis, providing thorough support, counselling, and advice on how to approach these situations as a workplace.
Supporting Content Moderators
We offer best practice psychological wellbeing services to protect staff against the challenging space of the online landscape by providing high-quality trauma specialist care for organisation staff working as content moderators, intelligence analysts, journalists and online researchers exposed to traumatic material.
Our Difference
A Passion for Helping
FD Consultants was born out of a desire to help organisations we saw suffering. We’ve dedicated ourselves to supporting the humanitarian sector, mental health charities, emergency first responders, journalists, and anyone else whose work exposes them to traumatic material and experiences. We care about these industries and the people working within them.
Removing the Stigma
Our team believes in the power of communication and being open about our struggles. As strong advocates for mental health awareness, the FD Consultants team aims to remove the stigma of discussing our emotional wellbeing, providing open counselling and creating safe spaces within workplaces.
Faith in Recovery
Our specialists do this work because they believe in it. We believe anybody can recover and heal from challenging situations and experiences, and all our services are approached with this value. We seek to help people find resilience within themselves, teaching effective techniques and strategies that set up individuals and organisations for a lifetime of healthy management.
There are many factors that set apart FD Consultants. These are just a few of the core values that make up the foundation of our team, and these beliefs have helped us to create support services that effectively help a workplace navigate challenging and traumatic situations. We believe in what we do and care about providing thorough support for a range of different industries.
