Does a phased return still count as sickness or does it count as back to work even though only doing a couple of days a week?

I have been signed off sick for almost 5 months now (work related stress). I want to return back on a phased return of 2 days a week to begin with. Does a phased return still count as sick? Just worried, I cannot afford to take a pay cut if it comes up to 6 months and they stop paying me.
