Clinical Health Psychology aims to bring understanding to the links between physical and mental health for each person’s unique situation. Therapy can identify barriers to achieving your recovery potential, and obstacles that are getting in the way of you living a full and meaningful life.

Together we can develop an individualised plan, with goals for treatment, and work toward effective strategies.

Health problems such as serious illness, chronic conditions, or other medical concerns, can have a significant impact on psychological wellbeing. Experiences of ill-health can lead to depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, general lack of satisfaction, and reduced daily activity.

Equally, mental and emotional wellbeing can impact on management of health including motivation and engagement with treatment plans. Long term stresses also have a negative impact on the body, reducing chances of recovery, and often triggering further episodes of poor health.

Psychological therapy can help you discover new ways of managing these patterns in order to live life more fully.
