Chronic health conditions plague many of our population. Conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis or chronic fatigue syndrome to name a few can make life nearly unbearable for suffers. Psychologists working with other medical practitioners can help create a team to support suffers of chronic health conditions and help them live productive fulfilled lives.
Health psychology takes the knowledge of body and mind, and helps produce strategies to produce the best quality of life they can. Psychologists teach coping methods, teach individuals how to empower themselves, pain management and improvement in self-esteem. They promote healthy lifestyle options, and help clients reach their goals and face their challenges.
With over 30 years of experience as a Professional Psychologist, Margaret McDonald has had experience in these areas of counselling. Margaret can teach you coping strategies, and help you set up a routine and a support system.
