Health psychologists help patients respond to and manage the psychological and emotional aspects of health and illness
As a health psychologist, you’ll help patients with varying health issues to understand their illness and effect health-related behavioural change. You’ll promote general wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle and will support patients on a range of health issues including:
* adjusting to a serious illness, such as cancer
* cardiac rehabilitation
* lifestyle choices associated with poor diet and lack of exercise
* management of diabetes or other long-term health issues
* pain management
* smoking cessation
* vaccination uptake.
You can work with children and adults, either individually or in groups. You may also work with family members who are affected by a patient’s illness.
You’ll usually work closely with other health professionals, such as nurses and GPs, and with organisations and employers outside the NHS, who identify psychological health issues in patients.
Work can take place in a range of settings such as the NHS, primary care or private practice. You can also follow an academic or research career.
