WorkCover psychologist
When workplace challenges or injuries start affecting your mental health, it can feel overwhelming to know where to turn. As a WorkCover psychologist in Brisbane, I offer professional and compassionate support to help you recover from psychological injury, workplace stress, or trauma.
My approach is grounded in care, structure, and evidence-based therapy. I’m committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where you can focus on your recovery and start rebuilding confidence in your personal and professional life.
What is a WorkCover psychologist?
A WorkCover psychologist provides specialised psychological treatment for individuals experiencing mental health concerns linked to their workplace. Through WorkCover Queensland, you may be eligible to access funded sessions that focus on recovery and rehabilitation after workplace injuries or psychological harm.
These services support clients dealing with mental injuries caused by incidents such as workplace bullying, burnout, or accidents. A registered psychologist helps you process the experience, develop coping strategies, and gradually restore your wellbeing.
WorkCover psychology services can include assessment, counselling, and practical therapy tailored to your situation. Once your WorkCover claim is approved, your treatment costs are generally covered so you can focus entirely on healing.
Benefits of working with a psychologist as a veteran
Recovering from a psychological injury is about more than paperwork or approvals — it’s about rebuilding your confidence, well-being, and sense of control. Working with a mental health WorkCover psychologist can help you process what’s happened, develop healthy coping strategies, and regain stability in your work and personal life.
Therapy can help you:
- Understand and manage symptoms such as anxiety, stress, or PTSD
- Rebuild resilience and restore a sense of normality after a workplace injury or traumatic event
- Learn practical tools to handle workplace pressures and difficult emotions
- Improve your sleep, focus, and mood
- Feel supported while you plan your return to work at a pace that suits you
Every session takes place in a calm, confidential, and supportive environment, giving you space to speak openly and make genuine progress. The goal is to help you recover emotionally, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with confidence.
If your workplace stress has also affected your home life, you may find additional support through my Couples Therapy service.
