Health & Wellbeing Coaches

What matters to you?

Health and wellbeing coaches are one of our health care professionals who help people make changes to their behaviour or lifestyle so that they can live fuller and healthier lives. They are experts in helping individuals to find out what drives them, what’s holding them back and what changes they want to make to better their health and wellbeing.

What Can a Health & Wellbeing Coach Help You With?

Health and wellbeing coaches help people with a range of long term conditions including respiratory, cardiovascular ( including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure) and stress/ low mood. They can also support people with lifestyle and behaviour changes that help with weight management, diet, physical activity, sleep or other areas that help to improve your health and wellbeing.
