SIRA WorkCover Counsellor- Supporting Your Mental Health Recovery For Workplace Injury
At Grounded Therapy Space, we are an accredited and registered provider with the NSW State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA), dedicated to supporting individuals eligible for WorkCover and Compulsory Third Party (CTP) claims.
Our counsellor understands that physical and psychological injuries sustained in the workplace can profoundly affect your mental well-being, which is why we work holistically, supporting the visible and hidden impacts these injuries can have on your life. We provide psychotherapy and counselling services in person at our clinic in Liverpool, Sydney, NSW or telehealth sessions.
Benefits Of Counselling After Workplace Injury
Beside from the physical effects of an injury, workers often experience a range of psychological challenges such as feelings of anxiety, overwhelming stress, anger, and sadness. These emotional responses can take a toll on an individual's mental health and strain relationships with colleagues, family members, and friends. When an injury occurs, many people find it difficult to cope with the disruption of their daily routines, face mounting financial pressures due to loss of income, and experience heightened anxiety about job security, career advancement, and the potential of re-injury.
Without timely and effective mental health support, individuals may struggle with the emotional aftermath of their injuries, leaving them uncertain about how to successfully reintegrate into the workplace. This can lead to a cycle of isolation and frustration that further exacerbates their psychological condition.
How Our SIRA Approved Counsellor Can Support You
Our accredited SIRA counsellor offers support in stress management, counselling, and developing personalised strategies to help manage depression, anxiety and fear related to the work injury. We adopt a holistic approach to your mental health recovery. Our counsellor would actively collaborate with you, your healthcare providers, and case managers to ensure that both your physical rehabilitation and mental well-being are prioritised.
By seeking psychological support early in the recovery process, you can prevent prolonged delays in returning to work. This proactive approach not only encourages a faster recovery but also paves the way for a smoother reintegration into your workplace environment, helping you regain confidence, resilience, and stability in your professional life.
We welcome referrals and enquiries from individuals and health care professionals seeking psychological treatment and support. We strictly adhere to SIRA guidelines, ensuring that all services provided are “reasonable and necessary” and are time-limited.
