About

Health psychology investigates how the way we behave influences health, illness and how we care for people living with long-term conditions.

Assisting patients with their emotional and psychological needs
Working alongside healthcare professionals to help them establish clear communication and productive relationships with patients
Working with health and social care organisations to develop protocols to engender good health and wellbeing
