    Yes. If you've been affected psychologically by a motor vehicle accident — as a driver, passenger, pedestrian, or cyclist — psychological treatment can be funded through the CTP (Compulsory Third Party) insurance claim, with a referral from your GP. The impact of an accident isn't always physical: anxiety about driving or being on the road, sleep disturbance, distressing memories, and low mood are all common and treatable. I'm experienced in working within the CTP system, including treatment planning and communicating with your GP and insurer with your consent. If you're unsure where your claim is up to, your GP or claims contact can confirm approval — and I'm happy to receive referrals at any stage.
