Clinical counselling in Abbotsford

Registered counselling support, available on its own or alongside physical treatment when pain and injury affect more than the body.

Counselling at New Ray

Support for the parts of recovery that are not physical

Persistent pain, injury and long recoveries take a mental toll. Sleep suffers, work becomes stressful and the frustration of a body that will not cooperate wears people down. Counselling addresses that directly.

Our registered clinical counsellor also sees people for concerns unrelated to injury, anxiety, low mood, stress, grief and life transitions. You do not need to be a physiotherapy patient to book.
