NHS Fife Clinical Health Psychology

Psychologists working in clinical health psychology can help with a number of things, including:

• Coping with the impact that a physical health condition is having on quality of life
• Coming to terms with feelings of loss as a result of a physical health condition
• Increasing understanding of a condition and its impact
• Coping with the demands of treatment
• Helping learn how to live a life a patient values despite the presence of a condition
• Helping manage difficult emotions which are related to a physical health condition (such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, confidence, body image difficulties or trauma)
