Health & Wellbeing Coaching
Health and wellbeing coaches support people to increase their ability to self-manage, motivation levels and commitment to change their lifestyle. They are experts in behaviour change and focus on improving health related outcomes by working with people to set personalised goals and change their behaviours. They work with people with physical and/or mental health conditions and those at risk of developing them.
​
Our Health and wellbeing coaches can be an effective intervention for people experiencing a range of short or long term conditions, including ADHD, social anxiety and stress/low mood. They can also support people with weight management, diet and increasing activity levels.
Health coaching uses 'Personalised care and support planning' which is a series of facilitated conversations in which the person, or those who know them well, actively participates to explore the management of their health and well-being within the context of their whole life and family situation.
Personalised care and support planning is key for people receiving health and social care services. It is an essential tool to integrate the person’s experience of all the services they access so they have one joined-up plan that covers their health and wellbeing needs.
The process recognises the person’s skills and strengths, as well as their experiences and the things that matter the most to them. It addresses the things that are not working in the person’s life and identifies outcomes or goals and actions to resolve these.

Parent Coaching
Being a parent is one of the most important roles we can experience, but it can also be one of the most challenging. Children process their earliest experiences of relationships and create a 'blueprint' for what they should expect and accept in a relationship into adulthood.. They therefore need, and deserve, to be cherished and valued, within a loving family environment, one in which they can grow and flourish into a happy adult with a positive view on life.
Who wouldn't want this for their child!
However, when stress and life's problems effect family life, this can cause relationship stress and breakdown between parents or even with the parent/carer-child relationship. We aim to support those parents with children under 5 years old, by helping them to reflect on their family relationships and prevent any negative influences affecting their child's wellbeing and positive emotional development.
