Rehabilitation & Returning to Work
We can all find our usual routines disrupted by illness, injury, an accident or medical treatment. The clinical psychologists at The Integrated Psychology Clinic have considerable experience in both acute medical settings and with chronic health conditions of all types. We are specialists in the functional, practical and psychological impacts of health-related interruptions to our daily lives.
Whether the interruption to your usual lifestyle was anticipated or sudden we provide the space to consider strategies for managing treatment, adjusting to a new pace, returning to work or considering new directions. At a time when others can struggle to understand, we will walk alongside you every step of the way. We take time to learn about you and your specific situation. From this place of understanding we can then help you develop a rehabilitation plan, emotionally process all that has changed for you, and consider how to communicate your new needs to people such as Occupational Health, Human Resources, friends and family.
Interventions might include:
- Rehabilitation programmes including gentle pacing, in conjunction with other healthcare professionals as appropriate
- Coping strategies suited to your own style of managing adversity
- A confidential space to think about adjustment to your situation
- Cognitive-behavioural, systemic and ACT approaches
