Health & Wellbeing Coaching
Supporting you to make positive lifestyle changes
Making changes to your health can feel overwhelming, especially if you're trying to manage a long-term condition, lose weight, improve your fitness or make healthier lifestyle choices.
Our Health & Wellbeing Coaches provide personalised support to help you make sustainable changes that improve your health, wellbeing and quality of life.
Rather than telling you what to do, your coach will work alongside you to help you identify goals that matter to you and create a plan that fits your lifestyle.
Health & Wellbeing Coaching is a free NHS service available to patients registered with one of our member practices.
A Health & Wellbeing Coach helps you:
- Identify what matters most to you
- Set realistic health goals
- Build confidence and motivation
- Develop healthy habits that last
- Overcome barriers to change
- Take greater control of your health and wellbeing
The service focuses on small, achievable changes that can make a big difference over time.
You may benefit from coaching if you would like support with:
- Weight management
- Healthy eating
- Increasing physical activity
- Improving sleep
- Stress management
- Low mood and wellbeing
- Stopping smoking
- Reducing alcohol consumption
- Building confidence and motivation
- Managing a long-term health condition
Our coaches work with people who want to improve their health and are ready to make positive lifestyle changes.
Health & Wellbeing Coaching may be particularly helpful if you have, or are at risk of developing, conditions such as:
- Type 2 Diabetes
- High blood pressure (Hypertension)
- High cholesterol
- Obesity
- Fatty liver disease
- Sleep apnoea
- Anxiety or depression
Making positive lifestyle changes can help improve symptoms, reduce future health risks and support overall wellbeing.
Your coach will spend time getting to know you and understanding your individual circumstances.
Together you will:
- Discuss your health and wellbeing goals
- Identify any challenges or barriers
- Create a personalised action plan
- Agree realistic and achievable steps
- Review your progress and celebrate successes
The focus is on supporting you to make changes that work for your life, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
We also offer online health coaching programmes that allow you to access support remotely.
Online coaching can provide:
- Flexible support around work and family commitments
- Goal setting and progress tracking
- Lifestyle advice and education
- Regular check-ins with your coach
