Energy-focused psychological consultancy IntrospeXion has announced a new contract with a major UAE-based operator to deliver a company-wide mental health and wellbeing programme that will support employees across onshore, remote, and offshore sites.  

Acknowledging that the world of health and safety is evolving to include a holistic focus on psychological factors and mental wellbeing, the operator has appointed IntrospeXion to deliver a comprehensive workplace psychological wellbeing programme for its local workforce. Working closely with senior leaders, IntrospeXion’s team of psychologists will design and implement a bespoke strategy that reflects the unique operational demands of the energy sector while strengthening psychological health, leadership capability and workforce resilience across the client’s UAE operations.  

The programme will include psychological profiling, executive coaching, workplace mental health strategy, psychological risk assessment, wellbeing workshops, confidential employee support, critical incident response, and specialist consultancy support. Support will be tailored to the operational realities of both office-based and field personnel across the UAE, helping to aid performance, reduce psychological risk, prevent burnout, and build a resilient workforce.  

The collaboration with the operator is the latest foundation of IntrospeXion’s burgeoning growth in the UAE and wider Middle East. Earlier this year, IntrospeXion, led by Founder and CEO Shabnum Hanif, announced the launch of a new regional operation, signifying the organisation’s ability to deliver specialist workplace psychological services in-country. 

Since then, to support ongoing regional work and activities, IntrospeXion bolstered its in-country presence by appointing Mharc Alonso as operations support and establishing a base of operations in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi.   

These latest developments run simultaneously with IntrospeXion’s established but continuously growing reputation in the UK and North Sea markets.

Shabnum commented: “The energy sector has long recognised the importance of protecting physical safety, and we’re now seeing forward-thinking organisations place the same strategic focus on psychological safety & wellbeing. Supporting people’s mental health isn’t simply about preventing ill health; it’s about enabling individuals, leaders and organisations to perform at their very best. We’re proud to deliver an evidence-based programme that will develop leadership, build resilience, and create lasting value for workforces across the UAE.”
