  • Dr Cory Middleton and Relationship-Talk provide an Employee Assistance program for small to medium sized businesses. We like to differentiate ourselves in the EAP space by sitting in the forefront of business and performance rather than the background (where EAP is used to a lesser extent). We are proactive and goal-focused in the way we engage with businesses to provide resilience-type psycho-education along with one-on-one confidential counselling and coaching. Get the support that suits your needs today!

  • Attend or host a workshop to learn practical, real-world strategies to help improve the quality of your personal relationships. Learn to tune-in to ways of communicating that can make a real difference to how you relate to others, how you manage stressful moments, and how you maintain your own resilience and mental strength during periods of pressure and change.
