Is therapy/counselling through Employee Assistance Programmes helpful?

[pinkyogamat]

I'm considering contacting my work's Employee Assistance Programme to request some therapy or counselling for anxiety. We are with unum.

Has anyone had any sessions through EAP and, if so, how was it? Did you find it helpful? Thank you

I had some counselling through my work's EAP and found it somewhat helpful. My counsellor wasn't blazingly brilliant, but it was worthwhile to talk things through with her. She didn't do anything wrong exactly, just that she maybe wasn't the best fit with me.

My attitude was, might as well try it, what have I got to lose?
