Clinical health psychology

What we do

We support patients with physical health difficulties that are impacting on their emotional wellbeing. We provide specialised services to inpatients, outpatients, the community and staff. We also offer a paediatric diabetes service.

Some of the emotional, psychological, and health problems that we can help you manage include:

adjustment to an illness or lifelong conditions such as cancer or chronic pain

coping with uncertainty and change due to illness

feelings of depression or anxiety

anxiety about medical or surgical intervention eg needle phobia, operations

fertility and pregnancy related problems eg stillbirth, traumatic labour

post-traumatic stress disorder related to a medical condition
