ACC267 Psychological services progress report [Updated]

**Part A: Kiritaki information** **1. Kiritaki details** Kiritaki name: John Smith Date of birth: 03/03/1979 Claim number: ACC000-TESTCLAIM-01 Address: 1 Example Street, Christchurch **Update on treatment and behavioural outcome measures** **Date of Action Plan and/or last Progress Report:** 15/09/2026 **Summary of input provided (eg number of sessions, modality of treatment, type of intervention, frequency)** The kiritaki has attended six sessions of weekly individual psychological treatment since the last report, using a cognitive behavioural therapy approach with a focus on trauma-related anxiety. Sessions have included psychoeducation on the anxiety response, graded exposure to workplace-related triggers, and breathing and relaxation exercises practised between sessions. **Functional goals** | Goal | Progress | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | Reduce hypervigilance and startle response so the kiritaki can attend the workplace without significant distress (from 1 day/week to 4 days/week). | The kiritaki reported a steady increase in workplace attendance, now managing 3 days per week, with graded exposure exercises supporting this. He reported reduced startle response to loud noises. | Partially achieved – on track, target of 4 days per week not yet reached. | | Improve sleep continuity (from waking 3–4 times per night to no more than once per night). | The kiritaki reported using the sleep hygiene strategies discussed and now wakes on average once per night, down from 3–4 times. | Achieved. | **Outline any barriers which are impacting progress:** The kiritaki reported that ongoing demands of managing his business independently have limited the time available for practising strategies between sessions. **Reason for more sessions if needed:** The kiritaki has engaged well and made measurable progress on both functional goals, but has not yet reached his workplace-attendance target. Continued weekly sessions are recommended to consolidate gains and support a full return to his previous work pattern. **Mental injury assessment (Max. 16 Hours)** Please indicate the proposed next stage: ☐ Treatment with approved mental injury cover (Max. 24 Hours): ☒ Treatment without approved mental injury cover (Max. 10 Hours): ☐ Treatment review (Max. 11 Hours): If additional sessions are required for treatment without ACC approved mental injury cover, identify why a mental injury assessment is not indicated at this stage: The kiritaki's presentation remains consistent with the difficulties identified at initial assessment and continues to respond to the current treatment approach, so a further mental injury assessment is not considered necessary at this stage. **6.
