Why consult?
-
Health Psychology is the application of psychological knowledge and skills to the promotion and maintenance of health, the prevention and treatment of illness, and the identification of determinants of health and illness.
Health psychology offers a lens for understanding how the mind, body, and behaviour interact in health and disease. The biopsychosocial approach recognizes the importance of multi-disciplinary care, and systematically considers biological, psychological, and social factors and their complex interactions in understanding and promoting an individual’s health.
