Psychological Rehabilitation

Recovery after trauma

This is a specific service for those acting on behalf of people who have been exposed to traumatic events and subsequently find themselves struggling to cope with the psychological after-effects.

Trauma can be hugely debilitating and can significantly impair a person’s mental health and consequently their social and occupational functioning. Appropriate and timely evidence-based psychological rehabilitation can facilitate recovery and a return to pre-incident functioning.

We work closely with solicitors, insurers and intermediary specialists to provide expert assessment and intervention for people who require psychological assistance after trauma.

Assessment

We offer three levels of assessment, all tailored to the needs of the client and you – the referrer.

Psychological Intervention

The process of assessment seeks to determine the predisposing, precipitating and perpetuating factors involved in the client’s distress. Using this information a comprehensive treatment plan is designed and delivered within an evidence-based framework e.g. Trauma-focussed CBT for PTSD.

Treatment is tailored to achieve the optimum results and programme length varies with complexity. Regular treatment reviews ensure the work remains on course and provides a way to manage and anticipate difficulties that sometimes arise during the therapeutic process.
