"circleindigo worked with staff during a difficult time when facing redundancy, providing sensitive and professional support in a group session and on an individual basis. All staff commented on the enormous impact of the sessions helping them to regain a positive outlook on their working lives and to take control of the search for alternative employment. I would recommend them to any employer looking for extra support for employees."
