Workcover QLD Counselling


At Blue Healers Counselling, we provide counselling support for people affected by workplace injuries, incidents, and psychological stress under WorkCover Queensland. A workplace incident can be deeply unsettling, disrupting not only your physical health but also your sense of safety, confidence, and identity at work.

Whether the incident involved an accident, injury, prolonged stress, bullying, or exposure to traumatic events, the emotional impact can linger long after the event itself. Many people experience anxiety, low mood, fear about returning to work, frustration with the claims process, or a sense of being stuck in limbo. At Blue Healers Counselling, we offer a confidential, compassionate space to help you make sense of what you’ve been through and support your recovery — at a pace that respects your capacity and circumstances.

We are here to help

Our experienced counsellors support individuals navigating WorkCover Queensland claims who are experiencing the emotional and psychological impact of a workplace incident. After an injury or work-related psychological stress, it is common to feel overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, or uncertain about the future. Concerns about recovery, finances, workplace relationships, and returning to work can place significant strain on emotional wellbeing, particularly when the process feels slow or unclear.

Counselling provides a structured and supportive space to make sense of what has happened and to stabilise your mental health during recovery. At Blue Healers Counselling, we work in a trauma-informed and person-centred way, recognising that workplace injuries often affect far more than the body. Emotional responses such as anxiety, low mood, irritability, loss of confidence, or a sense of being constantly on edge are understandable reactions to workplace injury and stress. Sessions focus on helping you understand these responses, reduce distress, and develop practical strategies that support recovery and daily functioning.

Every WorkCover journey is different. Some people are managing the immediate emotional impact of a recent incident, while others are dealing with the long-term effects of injury, chronic pain, workplace conflict, or prolonged stress. Our approach is tailored to your individual circumstances and stage of recovery. We provide a non-judgmental environment where you can speak openly without pressure to minimise your experience or push yourself beyond your capacity. Counselling is paced to support stability, confidence, and sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.

Workplace incidents can leave lasting emotional effects, particularly when recovery is complicated by uncertainty or disruption to identity and routine. With the right support, healing is possible. At Blue Healers Counselling, we focus on helping you regain a sense of control, emotional steadiness, and confidence as you move through recovery. Counselling is not about rushing the process; it is about supporting your wellbeing while you navigate the practical and emotional realities of a WorkCover Queensland claim.

If you are feeling emotionally impacted, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward after a workplace incident, you do not have to manage it alone. Blue Healers Counselling offers in-person sessions in Graceville, Brisbane, as well as online counselling across Queensland. Support is available to help you feel more grounded, supported, and capable as you work toward recovery.

WorkCover Queensland Counselling FAQs

Can counselling help with WorkCover stress and anxiety?

Yes. After a workplace incident, it’s common to experience anxiety, stress, low mood, irritability, sleep disruption, or a sense of being constantly on edge. Counselling can help you understand what’s happening in your nervous system, reduce distress, and build practical strategies for day-to-day coping and recovery.

Do you support psychological injury and trauma from workplace incidents?

Yes. We provide trauma-informed counselling for people impacted by workplace incidents, including psychological injury, trauma responses, and the emotional toll of accidents, conflict, or prolonged stress. Sessions are paced and respectful, focused on stabilising symptoms and supporting long-term recovery.

What if I feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about returning to work?

That’s a very common experience. Counselling can support confidence, emotional steadiness, and clarity, especially when uncertainty, fear, or frustration is building. We work with you to strengthen coping capacity and identify realistic steps that support your wellbeing alongside your recovery plan.

What happens in the first session?

Most clients start with 50-minute sessions. We’ll take time to understand what happened, what you’re dealing with now, and what support would be most helpful. You’ll leave with a clearer plan and practical strategies you can try between sessions.

Do I need a referral, and do you offer online sessions?

No doctor’s referral is required to make a booking. We offer in-person counselling in Graceville, Brisbane, plus online sessions across Queensland and Australia-wide.
