A diagnosis, ongoing symptoms, or changes to how you live and work can bring anxiety, low mood, grief, frustration, and a profound sense of uncertainty. These emotional responses are completely understandable,&nbsp; and you don&#8217;t have to navigate them alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We provide psychological support for people living with chronic illness, pain, and long-term or neurological conditions. Our focus is on your emotional wellbeing and adjustment, thereby helping you cope with the impact of your condition, rather than treating the condition itself, which remains the domain of your medical team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How a Health Condition Can Affect You Emotionally<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The psychological impact of a health condition can show up in many ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Anxiety about symptoms, prognosis, or the future<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low mood, grief, or a sense of loss around your previous life or abilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frustration, anger, or feeling that your body has &#8216;let you down&#8217;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty adjusting to a new diagnosis or changing capabilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strain on relationships, work, and identity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatigue, sleep difficulties, and the emotional toll of chronic symptoms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feeling unheard, isolated, or misunderstood<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These reactions are a normal response to a difficult situation. Therapy offers a space to process them and to build practical strategies for living well alongside your condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer extra_tiny_spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"28211\" src=\"https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-1.webp 800w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-1-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-1-370x370.webp 370w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-1-120x120.webp 120w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Psychological-Therapy-Overview-1-410x410.webp 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-id=\"28260\" src=\"https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Stress-and-Burnout1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Stress-and-Burnout1.webp 800w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Stress-and-Burnout1-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Stress-and-Burnout1-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Stress-and-Burnout1-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Stress-and-Burnout1-370x370.webp 370w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Stress-and-Burnout1-120x120.webp 120w, https:\/\/soiltest.in\/psychology-london\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Stress-and-Burnout1-410x410.webp 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Approach<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), all adapted to the realities of living with a health condition.
