Psychological injuries after a car accident are common and treatable — but many people in Westmead 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. Westmead is the heart of Sydney's medical and research precinct, anchored by Westmead Hospital, the Children's Hospital at Westmead, and a growing biomedical research zone. The Great Western Highway and the approaches to the M4 create dense traffic around Hawkesbury Road and Darcy Road, with heavy volumes of shift-working healthcare staff arriving and leaving at all hours. Nurses, allied health workers, and hospital support staff from the 2145 postcode often present with whiplash and fatigue-related injuries from their commute patterns, and the physical demands of hospital work tend to slow soft-tissue recovery.

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.
