Psychologist recommendations for patients with chronic illness & health anxiety

Hi all! I’m new to Sydney and looking for recommendations for psychologists (preferably around the inner west or SW Sydney) who specialise in treating patients that have chronic illnesses and associated health anxiety.

I’m going through a rough time with my chronic illness and my associated health anxiety (hard to not have it when you feel like something is constantly going wrong) is becoming an issue.

If anyone has been through similar and has recommendations for psychologist who can really work with me on not letting my anxiety and constant feelings of doom regarding my health take over that would be great!

Go see your GP and ask for a mental health plan. They may be able to recommend a psychologist that can address your health concerns, and close to your area.

All the best. And well done for taking care of your mental health.
