Torgeir Solemdal

Clinical Psychologist

Hi, I'm Torgeir ("Tor-gear"). I'm a Clinical Psychologist with two decades of experience helping people navigate workplace incidents and complex injuries - including the anxiety, low mood, sleep disruption, and pain-related distress that often come with them. I also work with the harder-to-name parts of recovery - adjusting to a changed sense of identity, grief over a role you've lost, the difficulty of returning to work, and the strain an injury can place on relationships at home.

Approach to Care and Recovery

Understanding Your Situation
Every WorkCover journey starts with understanding — not just the psychological impact of your injury, but the practical challenges affecting your recovery. The approach is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your individual circumstances and goals.
Evidence-Based Care
Treatment is guided by evidence-based approaches that support recovery from stress, anxiety, trauma, adjustment difficulties, pain-related challenges, and other workplace-related concerns. Sessions are practical, goal-focused, and adapted to your needs and pace.
Sustainable Recovery
Where appropriate, treatment is coordinated with your GP, rehabilitation providers, and other stakeholders to support a safe, gradual, and sustainable recovery. The focus is not only symptom reduction — but helping you regain confidence, functioning, and stability.
Building Long-Term Resilience
The goal is to help you develop skills and strategies that support long-term wellbeing both inside and outside of work — improving coping, emotional regulation, communication, stress management, and confidence moving forward.
