Cox Associates Expertise: Psychological Therapy
Cox Associates has extensive experience of providing Psychological Therapy, often in connection with Personal Injury cases. The psychological effects of accidents, whether medical, occupational or road traffic, can include traumatic stress reactions, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression and mood disturbance, phobias (often in relation to travelling) and chronic pain conditions.
Many of our associates are qualified therapists able to provide:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT);
- Human Givens Therapy;
- Affect Management Skills Training;
- Brief Solution Focussed Therapy.
Our vast experience shows that early intervention, where Psychological Therapy is identified as a need, results in quicker client recovery and returning to normal or near normal functioning, including a successful return to employment where relevant. Therapy can be provided in our dedicated consulting rooms or if preferred / necessary at the client's home address.
Case Study
Many cases in this category are about individuals who avoided travelling, either as driver or passenger, following road traffic accidents. Our experience shows that Human Givens Therapy successfully treats this travel anxiety / phobia such that the individual returns to driving in less than 5 sessions.
Mr A sustained a near fatal injury in a road traffic accident and developed severe PTSD with significant re-experiencing, avoidance and hyperarousal symptoms, which were massively affecting his relationships, quality of life and capacity to work. His psychological symptoms were successfully treated in 3 sessions of therapy; recommendations were made about appropriate employment rehabilitation and the case moved to a swift settlement within a month.
