Chronic pain from a work injury impacts all areas of life gradually reducing your mood. Low mood is a part of the ups and downs of normal life, but when this low mood persists longer than 2 weeks it can be a sign of depression, and its important to seek out specialist help as soon as possible. 

Anxiety is a normal human response to danger, however often times it is triggered by non-threatening circumstances. It’s a bit like a smoke alarm going off when you make some toast; there is no fire, but the alarm doesn’t know. Similarly, the brain and bodies design hasn’t changed in a few hundred thousand years, and its gets triggered by modern things easily. Counselling helps to re-train the brain and nervous system to be less reactive, so you can be calmer and happier.
