Rehabilitation counseling, that is counseling offered to people with various disabilities, involves in particular problems related to life understood in its broadest sense. In this context, the article evokes the notion of life counseling developed by Henryk Kaja in the 1970s. Some selected aspects of this concept inspire reflection on the role of counseling in supporting individuals with disabilities. The article commences with an overview of changes in conceptualizing rehabilitation as a process of restoring ability, aptitude and efficiency. Next, selected issues constituting specificity of rehabilitation counseling are discussed. The core argument of the article outlines the major assumptions of Henryk Kaja’s life counseling and his concept of quality life based on consciously oriented development, which includes such standards as richness and variety of subjective experiences, awareness, activity, productivity, morality and comprehensive human relationships. The central role in life counseling is attributed to the system of beliefs based on the values one holds, that is – the worldview that enables the disabled to interpret the sense of life events, including the potential sense of unavoidable suffering. In the context of life and rehabilitation counseling, suffering, disease, and disability, the concept of the meaning of life acquires special significance. Its source is rooted in values, and it is through discovering and internalizing them, through engaging thoughts, volition and action that an individual finds out what makes his or her life meaningful. To finish with, the article argues for the validity of life counseling as a part of rehabilitation.
