Health & Disability

Sometimes psychological issues are a consequence of our physical health condition. These can be a response to a single incident – such as an accident or a cancer diagnosis – or the result of being in a constant state of stress and anxiety, such as suffering from a chronic health issue like irritable bowel syndrome. Health psychologists understand how physical conditions can impact our psychological well-being. A health-focused psychologist can help an individual develop ways to cope with the condition and reduce the psychological impact.



Our clinicians are trained in health psychology assessments and can provide a connection between our psychological issues and our physical health. This can include common health issues:

  • Cancer
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Sexually transmitted diseases
  • Lupus
  • Heart disease 
  • Pain and fibromyalgia
