Therona, I can probably help you here. Clare heath is an experienced Occ health Physio who does FCAs in your area. FCAs (Functional Capacity Assessment) are the shortened 2 hour version of a full blown FCE which - if you check the Matheson (American) method - is a 6-8 hour assessment which in very detailed (often too detailed) and more geared to the legally binding / compensation culture of the states. I will happily give you Clares' contact details to liaise with her regarding a plan for this client.

Takes about 2 hours and tests functional tolerances against job demands. But also identifies where the person may not be putting full effort into the tests and also looks for any yellow flags. They are fantastic and I learnt about them from the master Mandy Kelly who contributes to this list. I was lucky to work with her for many years before she went independent.

CBT methinks is limited however as it will only "work" if the ultimate aim/target is "desireable" for her.
