Individual Therapy
One-to-one psychological support for anxiety, trauma, PTSD and post-accident adjustment
Individual Therapy
Confidential, one-to-one sessions with a registered psychologist, for people whose lives have been affected by an accident, an injury, or anxiety that has grown larger than they can manage alone.
What to expect
A session that starts where you are
Therapy at Safe2Go begins with listening. Your first session is an assessment, not a treatment plan handed to you — we want to understand what happened, what has changed since, and what you want your life to look like on the other side of this.
From there we agree an approach together. Some clients want to work directly on the accident and its aftermath. Others want to start with the practical things anxiety has taken from them — sleeping properly, getting to work, sitting in the passenger seat without bracing. Both are valid places to begin.
Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Frequency is agreed with you and reviewed as you go; most people start weekly or fortnightly and taper as things improve.
What we work on
- Anxiety and panic. Understanding the physiology of panic, learning to interrupt the escalation, and gradually rebuilding tolerance for situations that have become frightening.
- Trauma and PTSD. Processing what happened at a pace you can manage, reducing intrusive memories and hypervigilance, and loosening the grip of avoidance.
- Post-accident adjustment. Making sense of what has changed — physically, practically and in how you see yourself — and rebuilding a life that accommodates it.
- Low mood and loss of confidence. Addressing the flat, discouraged period that often follows a long recovery, and re-establishing momentum.
- Return-to-work and return-to-driving anxiety. Preparing for the specific situations you are heading back into, in a graded and structured way.
Our approach
Trauma-informed and evidence-based
Paced to you
Trauma work moves at the speed of safety. We do not push clients into distressing material before they are ready, and progress is always reviewable.
Practical and functional
We keep treatment tied to real outcomes — sleeping, working, driving, parenting, participating — rather than symptom scores alone.
Joined up
Where you are also seeing our occupational therapists or driver trainers, the team shares one plan so you are not repeating your story.
Working together
Therapy alongside driver rehabilitation
For many Safe2Go clients, driving is the clearest measure of how their recovery is going. It is often the first thing lost after a crash and the last thing regained.
Where that applies, individual therapy can run alongside the rest of our program. The psychological work builds the capacity — regulating anxiety, processing the accident, reducing avoidance — while the occupational therapy and on-road rehabilitation apply it in the real environment, in graded steps.
This is the advantage of a multidisciplinary service. The person helping you manage panic and the person sitting beside you in the car are part of the same team, working from the same plan.
It is equally fine for therapy to be the only thing you do with us. Many of our clients never enter a vehicle with Safe2Go at all.
