Are you living with a physical health condition?
Your wellbeing is important
We know that living with a physical health condition can be difficult.
It can affect those who live with it, and those close to them, in many ways.
Some people feel overwhelmed by having to manage medications and medical appointments. Some people find it difficult to make lifestyle changes to support their condition.
It is very common for people living with long-term conditions to feel worried, anxious, or feel low in mood at times, but having a physical health condition does not mean you shouldn't be able to enjoy your life!
People with a physical health condition are two or three times more likely to experience problems with anxiety and low mood.
How we can help
We will help you recognise if you are experiencing depression or anxiety that might affect how you are managing your physical health condition.
Talking Therapies Practitioners have training and experience in working with people living with physical health conditions and, together, we will be able to talk about the range of therapy options that would be most helpful and suitable for you.
Norfolk and Waveney Talking Therapies works in an integrated way with other healthcare providers, working alongside and collaborating with GPs, hospitals, specialist nurses, and consultants.
