Employee Support Line

Low-cost, local, professional mental health support for your workforce.

Low-cost, local, professional mental health support for your workforce.

Unmasked Mental Health provides a high-quality, low-cost Employee Support Line designed to support staff wellbeing at the point of need. As a local mental health charity, we understand the unique pressures faced by individuals who are trying to manage work on top of other pressures within their lives.

Unlike large national EAP providers, support is delivered by qualified, experienced counsellors, never call centre staff, ensuring personalised and professional care.

The employee can confidentially speak to a trained counsellor for up to one hour about how they are feeling and receive support and signposting to relevant services.

From just £2 per employee, per month

The service costs the equivalent of just £2 per employee, per month on a two-year contract.

Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm

Excluding bank holidays. Calls outside these hours will be picked up the next working day.

Why choose a charity-led Employee Support Line?

Many organisations now recognise that traditional corporate EAPs often fall short. Waiting lists, impersonal call centres, and limited session availability can prevent staff from receiving the meaningful support they need.

  • Delivered by trained counsellors, not helpline workers
  • Local, community-focused support
  • Fast access when employees need it
  • Affordable pricing
  • Real signposting to relevant local services
