A client might be seeing you for pain, rehabilitation, nutrition, mobility or changes in their health — while also dealing with anxiety, overwhelm, loss of confidence, changes in identity, or uncertainty about what life looks like now.
That's where counselling can complement the work you're already doing.
Crossroads may be a useful option when a client is:
adjusting to changes in health, mobility or capacity
overwhelmed by managing their health alongside everything else
experiencing anxiety, stress or burnout
grieving what they used to be able to do
dealing with changes in identity, independence, work or relationships
isolated, awayor feeling a lack of support from family and friends
struggling with changes they want to make but are finding difficult
facing decisions about what life looks like from here
I don't expect other health practitioners to work outside their scope, and I don't work outside mine.
Sometimes a counselling client needs expertise I can't provide — physiotherapy, nutrition support, exercise physiology or another health service. I'm building a small network of practitioners whose work I can confidently keep in mind when those needs arise.
Likewise, when something affecting one of your clients sits more naturally within counselling, Crossroads can provide another option.
I'm June, an ACA-registered counsellor providing practical, straightforward online counselling for adults across Australia.
My previous experience includes community health work and managing a nationally reaching multidisciplinary tele-mental health clinic, working with a team of dieticians, exercise physiologists, psychologists, nurses, and other counsellors and allied health professionals.
I know the importance of holistic care and collaboration for clients.
I also bring lived experience of injury, rehabilitation and adapting to changes in physical capacity. This has given me a personal as well as professional understanding of how changes in health can affect identity, independence, confidence and the life someone expected to be living.

My work particularly focuses on changes & transitions in people's lives, stress and overwhelm, identity and direction, anxiety, burnout, and times when the life someone is living no longer quite fits.
You're welcome to get in touch if you'd like to ask about suitability or learn more about how I work. I'm also always interested in learning about good allied-health services I can keep in mind when my own clients need support outside my scope.
