Your wellbeing service

Access to confidential counselling, wellbeing app, podcasts, webinars and more

You’ve dedicated your life to taking care of others, but in these new and uncertain times it’s never been more important to take care of yourself too.

We all face mental health challenges, and our response is deeply personal and ever-changing as we move through our lives and careers. And we all have times when life gets overwhelming. Whether you want to lower your stress, sleep better or reduce burnout, getting the right support can help you take positive steps to wellbeing.

We’ve partnered with Lyra International to deliver a flexible and professional wellbeing service for our members. This means you have access to daily advice and information via the Lyra Hub app, and if you need to, you can talk one-on-one to a licensed counsellor through the confidential service.

Confidential counselling from Lyra

Dental Protection understands how stress can impact on your practice and we want to ensure you have the support you need beyond a case or complaint, that is why as part of your Dental Protection membership you can access up to six sessions of counselling through our partner Lyra for any stress which could impact upon your practice, including but not limited to burnout, anxiety or conflict.

Lyra offers a personalised and professional service tailored specifically to meet your requirements and is delivered by experienced qualified counsellors.

Members can access telephone support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and face-to-face counselling sessions can be arranged if necessary. The service is entirely independent and confidential – anything discussed with Lyra will remain private – and accessing the service is easy.
