Health psychology is a relatively young discipline in Luxembourg. There is no formally established national structure dedicated exclusively to health psychology, and activities in this field are integrated within the broader psychological, academic, and health sectors.
Research and applied work in health psychology focus primarily on health behaviour, health promotion, and disease prevention. These activities are carried out mainly within academic settings and in collaboration with healthcare institutions, public bodies, and non‑profit organisations involved in prevention and mental health promotion.

At present, no national health psychology organisation exists in Luxembourg. Health psychologists operate within general psychological and health‑related structures. Professionals and researchers working in health psychology engage with the field through both local professional contexts and international networks, including the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS).

Psychologists working in health psychology are generally represented by the Société Luxembourgeoise de Psychologie (SLP), the national psychological society. The SLP represents psychologists across applied and research fields, including health and clinical psychology, and is a member of the European Federation of Psychology Associations (EFPA).
In addition, health psychology‑related activities are conducted in collaboration with:
- Healthcare institutions (e.g. hospitals and rehabilitation services),
- Public health and governmental bodies, and
- Non‑profit organisations active in prevention, mental health promotion, and psychosocial support.

Psychology education and training in Luxembourg are mainly delivered by the University of Luxembourg, the country’s public university. Health psychology is embedded within psychology degree programmes and research activities, rather than offered as a stand‑alone qualification. Training related to health psychology is primarily provided at master’s and doctoral levels, within broader programmes focusing on psychological intervention and health‑related research.
Psychology training and research are conducted in a multilingual academic context and are closely linked to university‑based research activities. In addition, psychology and health‑related continuing education opportunities are available through general lifelong learning frameworks in Luxembourg.

Research and psychology‑related projects in Luxembourg are primarily funded through national public research and innovation funding bodies, government institutions, and European research programmes. Funding for health‑related psychological research is typically obtained within broader interdisciplinary or public health funding frameworks, rather than through discipline‑specific health psychology schemes.

Professionals working in health‑related psychological research and practice in Luxembourg engage with the field primarily through academic institutions, professional associations, and international scientific networks. International and cross‑border collaboration forms an integral part of research and professional exchange.
