counselling

Pain is an unfortunate part of life and something most of us will experience occasionally or more persistently depending on the injury or cause.

Not only can pain be physically debilitating it can also effect us emotionally. When our lives are disrupted by pain we can experience feelings of frustration, helplessness, fear and anxiety which can lead to depression, poor self-image, stress and other destructive emotions.

That’s why at The Sports Injury Clinic we offer counselling services as an often helpful addition to the management and treatment of pain. Either on an individual basis or in a group setting, The Sports Injury Clinic’s counsellor can help give you the tools to understand the nature of pain, to cope with stress and to rationalize body image concerns.

Statistics show that obesity is on the rise in Australia and an increasing cost on our health system. What the figures don’t show is the complex and debilitating emotional problems that accompany the condition. The Sports Injury Clinic’s counsellor understands and can work through the emotional difficulties of obesity in a supportive and caring environment.
