Psychological Support After a Motor Vehicle Accident
CTP Funded Services (Compulsory Third Party Insurance)
Motor vehicle accidents can result in physical, psychological, and emotional consequences—sometimes long after physical injuries have healed. Through CTP insurance, individuals injured in road traffic accidents may be eligible for funded psychological support.​
​
How Can Psychological Therapy Help After an Accident?
Psychological responses to motor vehicle accidents can include:
-
Post-traumatic stress or trauma reactions (e.g., flashbacks, hypervigilance)
-
Depression, grief, or loss of confidence
-
Chronic pain adjustment and fatigue-related distress
-
Anxiety, sleep disturbance, and driving-related avoidance
-
Cognitive and emotional difficulty returning to work or life activities
Our psychologists use trauma-informed, recovery-focused approaches such as:
-
CBT for pain and trauma management
-
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) for trauma processing
-
ACT and mindfulness for acceptance and functional improvement
-
Graded exposure and behavioural activation to support return to activity
