Physical Health
Living with a long-term health condition, or adjusting to sudden changes in your physical health, can bring up a variety of emotions such as anxiety, grief, anger and despair.
Psychological therapy, tailored to you
It is common for people to withdraw from previously enjoyed activities and spend less and less time with family and friends.
Ongoing physical concerns can also impact intimacy and relationships. Here at Brightside Psychology we have a wealth of experience in helping people to adjust to and live alongside chronic pain, chronic fatigue, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, sight loss and palliative conditions.
We can offer a range of different therapies including EMDR, ACT, CFT and CBT that can help you to process the trauma of diagnosis and treatment, engage in self-management behaviours (where applicable) and live a happier and more fulfilling life.
Now I’m better, I still remember and use the techniques
My first session with Dr Sophie was when I was 3 months into cancer treatment. I was feeling many difficult emotions - fear, anger, jealousy of people who weren't going through it - and I didn’t know how to cope. It was as if my mind was a prison and I was screaming inside. Through a series of 1-2-1 sessions, Sophie helped me to calm those thoughts. She was kind and patient. She listened to me when friends and family couldn’t (or wouldn’t) and gave me techniques, such as mindfulness and visualisation to helped me through difficult times. It was never easy, but it wasn’t so overwhelming. Now I’m better, I still remember and use the techniques.
Thank you Sophie.”

I am so, so glad I visited Sophie.
I am so, so glad I visited Sophie. She was welcoming, sympathetic and got to the heart of my long-term problems in an unhurried but professional way. She gave me some excellent strategies for coping that I am still using.
