Psychological Services (Psych)

After an injury there are often challenges to adapting to ongoing symptoms and changes in lifestyle. Sometimes there are emotional problems relating to the experience of the accident. Clinical Psychologists help to identify any difficulties in adjusting to the injury and help Clients to address these. Problems such as anxiety, depression, social phobia, catastrophic thoughts and interpersonal difficulties are addressed. Often occupational issues are a potential barrier to recovery and these are addressed. With a Psychology team of five, SRI is one of the larger providers of psychological services in Canterbury.

Psychological Services may be provided independently of, or to complement other programmes like the Functional Reactivation Programme. Clients may receive Psychological services after a recommendation from a CPA, or Clients may be referred directly by their Case Manager at any time.
