When necessary, our consultant psychologists, Geoffrey Orme and Martha Knox of Citipsych provide a variety of assistance to the client in terms of pain, stress and anxiety management as well as counselling.

The focus is on facilitating the client to identify their main stressors and developing a crisis management plan that they can use when their pain reaches peak intensity. Problem solving strategies, advanced relaxation methods and self-motivational strategies are essential elements of the programme and support their physical recovery.

The psychologist works closely with Work Ready and the strategies are interlinked.

To support a speedy return to work, Work Ready will use Ergonomists, case managers/co-ordinators, and other occupational health professionals when appropriate.
