As I am firmly against him (he still owes me money from March, which has been escalated to area management) and will always back the other manager against him so the chances of me getting it removed are slim to none.

The counselling I was referring to has nothing to do with your employer and would be arranged via you GP and would cover all aspects of your life. Given what's going on I'd have thought it'd be the way to go before something really serious happens either to your health or as a result of anger due to all the stress you're under e.g. being dismissed or assaulting someone. Only you can decide however.
