Recovery is personal and rarely linear
An accident can affect much more than the body. You may be living with worry, frustration, sleep disruption, cognitive fatigue, changes in confidence or independence, and the challenge of explaining what you are going through. These experiences deserve thoughtful support alongside appropriate medical and rehabilitation care.
What counselling can support
- Emotional adjustment after a motor vehicle accident.
- Anxiety, uncertainty, and stress related to changing routines or abilities.
- Coping with cognitive fatigue, chronic pain, or reduced independence.
- Communication, boundaries, and practical concerns around work and relationships.
- Identifying realistic, values-based next steps at a pace that works for you.
A careful, collaborative approach
Lisa uses a person-centred, practical approach informed by her experience in medical social work and multidisciplinary healthcare settings. Counselling does not replace medical, rehabilitation, legal, or insurance advice. It can complement your existing care by making space for the emotional and everyday effects of recovery.
ICBC Recovery Network
Lisa is a counsellor with the ICBC Recovery Network and provides support for eligible clients recovering after a motor vehicle accident. During a consultation, Lisa can answer general questions about whether counselling may be a good fit for your circumstances.
You do not have to carry the emotional impact of an accident alone. Counselling can offer a place to pause, reflect, and find a manageable next step.
