Engaging with stakeholder to support your recovery
Comprehensive reports and progress updates
Recovering from a workplace injury can affect much more than physical health. Many people experience stress, anxiety, low mood, loss of confidence, disrupted routines and uncertainty about the future, combined with their ongoing chronic pain.
At Calder Psychology, we provide evidence-based workers' compensation support through tailored psychological treatment for individuals recovering from work-related injuries and accessing care through Workers' Compensation schemes.
Our psychologists work collaboratively with clients, medical practitioners, rehabilitation providers, employers and insurers to support recovery, improve functional capability and wellbeing, including a safe return to meaningful activities where appropriate.
Our clients regularly comment that they appreciate the support that we provide them in engaging with other stakeholders, including insurers, GPs, other medical or health professionals, and employers. We have extensive experience in preparing comprehensive reports and progress updates for stakeholders.

Working Collaboratively

Where appropriate and with client consent, we work collaboratively with:
General Practitioners
Treating specialists
Rehabilitation providers
Case managers
Employers/insurers
Other allied health professionals
​This collaborative approach helps ensure psychological care is aligned with broader recovery goals. Our experienced clinicians facilitate coordinated care, reduce barriers to recovery, and support your progress towards improved wellbeing and a successful return to meaningful activities where appropriate.
Comprehensive Reports and Progress Updates
We have extensive experience preparing clear, evidence-based psychological reports and progress updates for workers’ compensation stakeholders. Our reports provide meaningful clinical information regarding diagnosis, treatment progress, functional capacity, barriers to recovery and recommendations for ongoing care.
​Reports are tailored to meet the requirements of insurers, employers, medical practitioners and rehabilitation providers, supporting informed decision-making and facilitating coordinated, person-centred care throughout your recovery journey.
Neurodiversity and Workplace Challenges
Calder Psychology has particular expertise in supporting neurodivergent adults, including individuals with autism and ADHD.
​Where neurodivergence is a contributing factor to workplace challenges, stress or recovery needs, we provide tailored support that recognises individual strengths and support requirements.
