Clinical Health Psychology Service
Psychological services are offered to adults who are experiencing psychological difficulties resulting from their physical health condition and its associated treatment/management. Services are offered to people with cardiology, diabetes, oncology, pain, renal and respiratory conditions.
The focus of input from our service is the psychological difficulties that can result from having a long term health condition/health diagnosis and the health interventions associated with it. The aim of service provision is to support the person’s management of their psychological health in the context of living with a health condition.
If you are finding your health condition is impacting negatively on your psychological health speak with your health care team who can make a referral through to our service.
The service operates Monday to Friday from 9:00am – 5:00pm.
Our offices are based at Holywell Hospital and we offer virtual/video appointments and in person appointments.
