Psychological Health Services
Welcome to Psychological Health Services (PHS) and
Neuropsychology. We are a team of psychologists who offer a range
of help and support. We offer input for patients and their
families, including children, young people and adults who are
managing a physical health condition. This may involve helping you
to cope with:
- Adjusting to and managing a physical health condition
- Making decisions about your treatment or the care offered to
your child
- Coming into hospital for assessment or treatment
To help understand your needs we may ask you to come
in for psychological and or neuropsychological assessments. We will
talk to you about this and how the information can help
plan the next steps of your care.
We also work with hospital medical and surgical teams to develop
information and resources to help you manage your care and to
support you with access assessments and treatment. These resources
are available at this link. In some healthcare teams, there
will be specific psychological support available as part of your
care. This could include a variety of options to meet your
specific needs, ranging from individual 1:1 sessions, telephone
support and group work.
How do I find out what is available to me?
You can find out whether your healthcare team has access to
psychological support by asking the healthcare professionals in
your hospital team. However, if psychological support is not
available, your healthcare team will be able to direct you to the
most appropriate source of support. You can also find valuable
toolkits and resources to help you here as well as further information about
what we offer.
