How Health Psychology Can Benefit You
Everyone’s mental and physical health are intertwined and ebbs and flows throughout different stages in our lives. It is normal to have times when we thrive and times when we really struggle... we all need support at times to navigate life’s twists and turns.
​
Health psychology support is ideally placed to help when we’re feeling unwell, or are not maintaining our health in the way we really want to. So many factors impact how ‘well’ we feel at any one time, and the influences on our health can include the people around us, the way in which our bodies work or react to stressors, our thought patterns, our behaviours and our emotional experiences.
Health Psychology support brings all of this and more together to empower people to make difficult health-related changes, move away from unhelpful strategies, behaviours or situations that might be holding people back, and move towards more of what they want and need for better health and wellbeing.
Specialist services
01.
This Weight Management Service offers specialised support to adults living with obesity, adults concerned about weight gain, or adults of any weight wanting support with weight-related factors like eating patterns, physical activity levels, sleep, stress management, or addressing relevant social or environmental factors.
02.
Being diagnosed with a long-term condition (LTC), learning to adjust to it, and manage it as effectively as possible is challenging. This LTC support service involves providing one-to-one talking therapy-based sessions with a qualified Health Psychologist (HCPC registered) in order to address any of the challenges associated with living with illness.
