CLINICAL COUNSELLING
Counselling that walks beside the physical side of recovery.
Registered Clinical Counsellors supporting the mental-health side of injury, chronic pain and life.
OVERVIEW
What is clinical counselling?
Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) in BC are members of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors — a master's-level mental-health profession with a defined ethics framework and scope of practice. Sessions are confidential and evidence-informed.
At Launch Rehab, counselling is offered for clients dealing with the mental-health side of injury and chronic pain — anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, post-MVA distress, fear of movement, identity changes after a long recovery, grief and loss, and life transitions. It is also available as a standalone service for relationship challenges, burnout, work stress, and stress management.
Our counsellors draw on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, mindfulness, somatic focusing, internal family systems (IFS), and trauma-informed approaches, matched to what you're bringing in. We also work with neurodivergent clients and those exploring ADHD, offering neurodivergence-affirming support that respects different ways of thinking and processing.
BENEFITS
What this work is for.
- Address anxiety, depression, and the mental-health side of injury and chronic pain
- Support post-MVA recovery, including driving anxiety and trauma processing
- Work through grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship difficulties
- Develop stress management and burnout recovery strategies that hold under load
- Process trauma in a structured, safe framework using CBT, IFS, somatic focusing, or narrative therapy
- Receive neurodivergence-affirming support for ADHD and related challenges
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your session, step by step.
First conversation
What brought you in, what you have tried, what you would like to be different. Whether you're facing trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, burnout, work stress, relationship challenges, or life transitions — there's no diagnosis pressure in session one.
Working frame
Your counsellor will share the approach they think fits (cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, internal family systems (IFS), somatic focusing, or mindfulness-informed care) and you decide together whether to start there.
Sustainable pace
Sessions are weekly or biweekly. Recovery is not linear; we will name that and work with it. This is especially important for neurodivergent clients and those navigating ADHD, where pacing and structure can make all the difference.
Confidential & regulated
What is said in the room stays in the room, with the standard legal exceptions every regulated counsellor is required to disclose at the start of care.

KIND WORDS
What our clients say.
"I’ve been going to Launch Rehab in New West for a few years and I love that they’ve expanded to Lougheed! Been receiving outstanding care from Kevin here with physio, dry needling, and cupping. I appreciate that Kevin is invested in my progress. RMT Tasso has also been fantastic and they talk to each other to organize my goals of care which is amazing! I’ll always come here as I know I will be well taken care of."
