What Does a Rehabilitation Counsellor Do?

A rehabilitation counsellor helps people identify and address barriers related to disability, illness, injury or significant life changes. Their work focuses on practical goals such as independence, employment, education and participation. Rather than following the same approach for everyone, rehabilitation counselling is tailored to the person’s circumstances, strengths, challenges and goals. The aim is to identify practical strategies that can support meaningful progress.
