Adjustment to Injury Counselling (ATIC)

This program is designed for patients who are progressing well physically but have identifiable psychosocial barriers to their physical recovery.

Psychological and physical injuries can have a devastating impact on levels of functioning and normal life.

Traditional psychological support typically focuses on helping individuals manage personal, emotional or mental health challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life transitions. While this support can be highly valuable, the primary focus is often on emotional wellbeing and symptom management within the therapeutic relationship between the individual and clinician.

Adjustment to Injury Counselling is different. It is specifically designed to support people who are recovering from a physical or psychological injury, illness or health condition that is impacting their ability to participate in work and everyday life. The focus is on helping individuals build confidence in their recovery, overcome barriers such as fear, uncertainty or loss of identity and develop practical strategies to return to meaningful activities.

A key difference is that Adjustment to Injury Counselling adopts a recovery and work participation focus. With the individual’s consent, clinicians may collaborate with employers, rehabilitation providers, treating practitioners and insurers to support a coordinated recovery plan. This approach helps individuals remain connected to work where appropriate, facilitates safe and sustainable return to work outcomes and ensures psychological support is aligned with broader rehabilitation goals.

Here at Axis, we provide rapid access to work-focused psychologists through telehealth ensures your people can access support when they need it most, without delays, travel, or workplace disruption. This immediacy drives earlier engagement, which is a critical factor in achieving better clinical, recovery, and return-to-work outcomes.
