What is a Health and Wellbeing Coach?

What is a Health and Wellbeing Coaching? 

Our Health and Wellbeing team predominately use health coaching skills to support people to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to become active participants in their care so that they can reach their own health and wellbeing goals. We support people to self-identify and manage existing conditions working closely to coach and motivate them through multiple sessions to identify their needs, set goals and help them implement their personalised health plan. They may also provide access to self-management education, peer support and social prescribing. 

Each person’s work with a Health and Wellbeing Coach is different and sessions are tailored to the needs of the individual however, typically individuals receive at least 6 sessions over a period of 4-6 months. 

Health & Wellbeing Coaching can be gained by attending co-produced webinars and group sessions, such as the women’s health program, which provides topics around menopause, health screening, anxiety, mindfulness, healthy eating, exercise, and the ShinyMind mental health & wellbeing App. These are generally delivered collaboratively to provide optimal care to empower patients to achieve realistic set goals that have been identified and agreed upon.
