Retained Psychological Support
Senior psychological support under pressure
Mycore Psychological Consulting Ltd provides retained psychological support to organisations operating in complex, high-pressure environments.
Retainers are designed for organisations that require timely access, continuity, and senior psychological judgement, particularly where emotional load, risk, or operational pressure cannot wait for delayed or fragmented support.
This model complements existing wellbeing provision and offers a practical alternative where standard access routes are not sufficient.
Explore a retainer
If your organisation is considering retained psychological support, you’re welcome to get in touch.
An initial conversation offers a structured, confidential space to discuss operational needs, access requirements, and whether a retainer arrangement would be appropriate.
Why Organisations Choose a Retainer Model
Designed for access, continuity, and reliability.
Many organisations already offer Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) and wellbeing services. While valuable, these services can be limited by access thresholds, waiting times, and a lack of continuity particularly during periods of heightened pressure or following incidents.
When access and timescales matter
A retainer provides:
- timely access to psychological support when it is needed
- predictable availability, rather than reactive referral pathway
- continuity of understanding, rather than repeated reassessment
- early psychological input, before strain escalate
- calmer, more contained responses during periods of pressure
For organisations where operational demands are high, the ability to access psychological support promptly and from a known, trusted provider is often the deciding factor.
What retained support may include
Retainers are shaped around organisational need and may include a combination of:
- scheduled on-site or remote psychological presence
- confidential one-to-one staff support
- leadership consultation and decision-making support
- post-incident or post-event psychological input
- support following bereavement, loss, or organisational change
- neurodiversity-aware workplace guidance
- non-identifying wellbeing insights for leadership teams
Delivery is typically structured as weekly or fortnightly half-day or full-day arrangements, agreed in advance to ensure clarity and reliability.

A Model Built for Continuity and Resilience
Senior oversight, scalable delivery, clear accountability.
Mycore delivers retained psychological support through a senior-led, governed consulting model. Where required, delivery is supported by a carefully selected practitioner network, enabling reliable support at scale without loss of continuity or standards. Retainers are held with Mycore, ensuring governed delivery.
Critical incident and post-event support
Where incidents, losses, or unexpected events occur. Mycore provides calm, psychologically informed support to help individuals and teams stabilise and process impact. This structured psychological input may follow a sudden loss, serious incident, or periods of acute organisational strain, focused on containment, emotional regulation, and reducing longer-term impact, typically delivered within retained arrangements to ensure trust and timely access.
Neurodiversity-aware organisational practice
Where relevant, support is delivered in a neurodiversity-aware way, recognising differences in attention, regulation, communication, and stress tolerance. The focus is on practical adjustment rather than labelling, with structured ADHD pre-screening and next-steps guidance offered where appropriate, supported by UKAAN-backed training.
