Several therapeutic approaches can be effective, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): This approach can help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns related to the accident, promoting healthier coping strategies.
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR): This technique can help clients process traumatic memories, reducing emotional distress associated with the recollection of the event.
  • Trauma-Focused Therapy: Approaches specifically designed to address trauma can be beneficial, focusing on both emotional processing and the development of coping skills.
  • Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Mindfulness techniques can assist clients in managing anxiety and distress, promoting present-moment awareness.
  • Supportive Counselling: Offering a space for clients to express their feelings and concerns can be therapeutic in itself, helping clients feel heard and validated.
