On-Set Psychological Wellness

“More producers are considering offering therapy services, both on set and virtually, to help film workers cope with on-the-job stress” (Sakoui, 2023).

 

We provide professional, bespoke, therapeutic support services to production companies, studios, crew, and creative freelancers. Support can be provided both remotely and on-set.

Pre-Production Support

We provide comprehensive script consultancy, ensuring that all mental health-related content is depicted with accuracy, sensitivity, and humanity. We conduct stress and mental health risk assessments, along with psychometric and personality evaluations, to help inform safe production planning and mitigate potential risks. Our aim is to support you in making sure your production environment is safe, sustainable, and effective for all involved. Additionally, we review established mental health and safety policies, offering actionable recommendations to enhance and strengthen these protocols where needed. With a focus on proactive measures, we work closely with your team to foster a positive, resilient production atmosphere, safeguarding the well-being of both cast and crew throughout the creative process.

On-Set & Location Services

Our on-set psychological services are designed to support the mental and emotional well-being of cast and crew throughout the production process. We provide on-set mental health support, including mental health first aid, therapy, and counselling sessions, ensuring immediate care is available during high-pressure moments. Emotional debriefing is also offered after particularly challenging scenes to help cast members process intense emotions safely. Our services include regular mental health check-ins to proactively address concerns, creating an environment that prioritises well-being. We also provide a confidential mental health hotline for ongoing, discreet support outside of filming hours, providing a comprehensive safety net for all involved in the production.

Post Production & Aftercare

Aftercare psychotherapy services for film and television productions are vital in supporting individuals as they transition out of intense production environments. We offer tailored aftercare programs to help cast and crew process their experiences and mitigate the psychological impacts of being in the public eye or participating in emotionally demanding roles. Our services include post-production debrief sessions and ongoing counselling for burnout prevention and stress management, ensuring that mental health remains a priority even after the cameras stop rolling. This is the gold standard of aftercare.
