Staff wellbeing and psychological resilience is a priority at Oberstown.

At Oberstown, we are committed to the health and wellbeing of our staff, recognising the unique demands and opportunities of working in our organisation. Our range of supports ensures employees have access to the resources they need to thrive personally and professionally.

On-site Chartered Psychologist

Our on-site chartered psychologist, specialising in systemic psychotherapy and work and organisational psychology, offers tailored campus support service. This includes:

  • Therapeutic interventions – confidential counselling, group support and therapeutic services to address personal and workplace challenges, fostering resilience and wellbeing.
  • After-incident support – assistance following critical incidents, including a safe and confidential space to process events and structured reviews to ensure psychological safety and promote individual, team, and organisational learning.
  • Professional coaching and group work – sessions to develop skills, address challenges, and support personal and professional growth.
  • Clinical supervision – regularly scheduled one-to-one or Group Supervision sessions.

Access to a multi-level system

The campus support services include a structured, multi-level system including peer support workers (PSWs), trained in critical incident stress management (CISM) and mental health first aid. They provide immediate, frontline assistance to colleagues affected by critical or traumatic incidents. For additional support, employees can also access a confidential employee assistance programme (EAP), providing 24/7 counselling, advice, and resources for personal and professional concerns.

This tiered framework ensures that staff have access to appropriate support at every level – from internal peer-based assistance to professional psychological services and access to external support.


Our holistic approach reflects our unwavering commitment to creating a supportive, proactive workplace that places employee wellbeing and personal growth at its core. By providing access to resources, we aim to foster a resilient, healthy, and supportive work environment for all employees.
