Psychological injuries after a car accident are common and treatable — but many people in Ballina delay getting help because they think they should just push through. Anxiety, driving phobia, poor sleep, and intrusive memories are legitimate injuries that respond well to structured psychological treatment. We coordinate psychology with your medical care so the whole picture is managed together. Ballina sits at the mouth of the Richmond River with the Pacific Motorway passing nearby and Ballina-Byron Gateway Airport inland. Tourism, aviation, and retail dominate the workforce.

What we do
Motor vehicle accidents frequently cause psychological injury alongside physical damage. Post-traumatic stress, generalised anxiety, driving avoidance, sleep disturbance, and adjustment disorders are treatable conditions that respond well to evidence-based interventions. Your psychologist works within the CTP framework, prepares treatment plans and progress reports, and coordinates with your CTP doctor to ensure your psychological recovery is tracked and supported.
