At The Psychology Paige, we understand the challenges that come with living with a long term health condition. Chronic illnesses can have a huge impact on your day to day life, and this can take a toll on your wider mental health. It can be difficult to accept that you have a long term condition and you may even feel like you have lost your identity.

Therapy can help you to manage your long term condition in a variety of ways. It may help you come to terms with your diagnosis and what it might mean for your life going forward. It can also help you to better understand your illness and learn different strategies to cope and to improve the management of your symptoms.

Alongside the coping strategies and management techniques, it can help you to improve your communication skills around your chronic illness, which can help with developing a support system of family and friends.
