Encouraging rehabilitation counselling practitioners to enter the arena of journal-writing is an ongoing concern of the profession.

A model of organising standard components of a professional journal article is presented and discussed. The guidelines presented also provide a summary of the manuscript format and editorial review process. Suggestions presented provide a basis for assisting the rehabilitation counsellor practitioner who is considering writing a journal article.
