We all know how important the relationship between client and therapist is, so what happens if they do not get along or click? What is the person who is in need of the mental health care supposed to do then? I think this is definitely a case of a double edged sword. While I know we are all glad to see mental health issues being taken seriously, it is also a case where what the company thinks is best for their employees may not actually be the reality of the situation.

There needs to be holistic development of an individual's mental health and the employer is responsible for this.

Also, fun activities and other group dynamics at the work-place would help, according to me.
