Psychology Services
Our registered psychologists provide practical, evidence-based support to help you recover from an injury, manage persistent pain, and return to the activities that matter most. Our team of Psychologists provide support under several ACC contracts.
What Does a Psychologist Do?
Psychologists are healthcare professionals who help people understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By working together, psychologists support people to develop practical strategies, build resilience, and create positive changes in their lives.
Why Would I See a Psychologist for a Physical Injury?
Physical injuries can affect every aspect of life, including how individuals think, feel, and respond to challenges. It is common for people recovering from injury to experience:
Increased stress or frustration
Anxiety about recovery or returning to work
Low mood or reduced motivation
Sleep difficulties
Changes in confidence or independence
Unhelpful coping habits
Psychologists who work in rehabilitation and physical health settings understand the connection between physical and emotional wellbeing. They can help you develop practical strategies to manage the challenges that often accompany injury and recovery, helping better understand your condition, improve your confidence in managing symptoms, and get the most from other aspects of your rehabilitation.
