When Might You Need a Rehabilitation Counsellor?
You may benefit from rehabilitation counselling when disability, illness, injury or a significant life change creates barriers to independence, employment, education or participation. A rehabilitation counsellor can help you understand those barriers and work out practical next steps towards your goals. You do not need to be facing a major crisis to seek support. Rehabilitation counselling can also be useful when you simply need guidance to adjust to change, return to work or move towards a personal goal.
