Psychological injuries after a car accident are common and treatable — but many people in Wollongong 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. Wollongong is the Illawarra's main city, connected to Sydney via the M1 Princes Motorway — a winding, steep descent through the escarpment that is one of the most dangerous stretches of road in NSW. Thousands of workers commute between Wollongong and Sydney daily, and the combination of speed, gradient, weather exposure, and heavy vehicle traffic makes serious accidents more common than on flat suburban roads. The area's workforce in steel, manufacturing, university, and health means many claimants have physically demanding jobs where untreated injuries quickly become disabling.

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.
