An Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) refers to damage to the brain that occurs after birth, typically resulting from traumatic events such as accidents, falls, or medical conditions like strokes or tumours.

Psychotherapy for individuals with ABI aims to address the psychological and emotional impact of the injury, facilitate adjustment to changes in functioning, develop coping strategies for challenges such as memory loss or executive dysfunction, and support the individual in rebuilding their sense of identity and purpose post-injury.
