Health Coaching

Health coaching, is a professional relationship that combines the sciences of positive psychology, behaviour change, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle medicine with the art of relationships, teamwork, and community engagement. Health coaches work with clients to help them develop resilience and achieve long-term behaviour changes that improve their health and wellness.

Health coaches guide clients through a process of self-discovery, helping them clarify their values, understand their lifestyle practices, and explore pathways to overcome their challenges. This approach is client-centred, focusing on eliciting the client's goals, motivations, and strengths, and supporting them to take actionable steps towards their health goals.

A key aspect of health coaching is the emphasis on self-responsibility and positive self-determination, enabling clients to bridge the gap between their intentions and actions. Health coaches listen and empathise, honour the client's autonomy, affirm their strengths, and facilitate conversations that lead to lifestyle changes.

FAQs

How is health coaching different from traditional medical care?

Health coaching differs from traditional medical care in that it focuses on behaviour change and lifestyle modification rather than diagnosing and treating medical conditions. While doctors may provide advice on managing health conditions, health coaches work closely with clients to implement that advice through practical, actionable steps and offer ongoing support and accountability.

Who can benefit from health coaching?

Health coaching can benefit anyone looking to improve their health and well-being, whether they want to lose weight, increase physical activity, manage stress, quit smoking, improve their diet, or manage chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension. It is also helpful for individuals seeking guidance on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle or reach specific wellness goals.

What does a health coach do?

A health coach helps clients identify their health goals, create personalised action plans, and overcome obstacles to achieve long-term success. They provide motivation, education, and support in areas such as nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep, and overall wellness. Health coaches may also help clients manage chronic conditions and improve their mental and emotional well-being.
