A Health Psychologist specialises in understanding how psychological, behavioural, and cultural factors influence health and illness, aiming to improve overall wellbeing. Their duties often involve conducting assessments to evaluate patients' mental and emotional health, developing intervention strategies to promote healthier lifestyles, and providing therapy to individuals coping with chronic illnesses.
Health Psychologists may also collaborate with healthcare providers to design programmes that encourage preventive care, conduct research on health-related behaviours, and advocate for public health initiatives.
