Understanding the difficulty in context
Physical health and psychological wellbeing influence one another. Chronic pain, illness or injury can affect sleep, mood, confidence, relationships and participation in everyday activities. Psychological treatment can help people adjust, improve coping and address the emotional consequences of ongoing health difficulties.
Areas I may help with include
- chronic pain
- stress-related health concerns
- adjustment to illness or injury
- sleep difficulties
- behavioural health and coping
- functional impairment and life transition
Assessment and treatment are individualised. The first task is to understand the nature of the difficulty, relevant history and current circumstances before deciding together on an appropriate way forward.
