ICBC

If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, the impact is not only physical. Many people experience emotional and psychological symptoms that can appear immediately or weeks later. ICBC counselling provides support for the stress, anxiety, and disruption that often follow an accident.

I work with individuals who are struggling with the emotional effects of a motor vehicle accident, including:

• Anxiety about driving or being a passenger
• Fear of highways, traffic, or specific routes
• Sleep disruption, nightmares, or difficulty settling at night
• Irritability or emotional reactivity
• Trouble concentrating or returning to work
• Ongoing stress related to insurance, medical appointments, or uncertainty
• Trauma symptoms such as hypervigilance, intrusive thoughts, or feeling on edge
• Pain related stress and the emotional toll of physical recovery

Some clients feel shaken and nervous behind the wheel. Others notice they are more overwhelmed, impatient, or exhausted than before. It is common to minimize these changes and try to push through, but untreated stress can slow overall recovery.

Counselling focuses on stabilizing your nervous system, rebuilding confidence, reducing anxiety, and helping you return to daily life with greater steadiness. Sessions are practical and supportive, and we move at a pace that feels manageable.

ICBC may provide coverage for counselling following an approved claim. If you have questions about whether you qualify, I can guide you through the next steps.
