Health and Wellbeing Service
Health and wellbeing coaching helps support individuals take pro-active steps to improve the way you manage you physical and mental health conditions, based on what matter to you. This free service is available to adults 18 and over, who are registered with a Surrey Heath & Ash Vale GP Practice.
Health and Wellbeing Coaches aim to:
• Help you identify what lifestyle choices are important to you.
• Guide you towards improvements in your physical and mental wellbeing.
• Help you to set goals and personal health targets.
• Provide up to 6 one to one sessions usually over 3 months, aimed at motivating you towards healthy behavioural changes. Most people know what they need to do to improve their health and wellbeing but they lack the motivation or feel stuck. This is where the health coach can help, by increasing motivation and introducing healthy behaviour changes. What goals do we work with?
• Weight Management
• Healthier Eating
• Becoming More Active
• Reducing Alcohol Consumption
• Mild Mental Health Concerns
• Low Mood and Isolation
• Stress Management
What to expect from health coaching?
Sessions will take place online or via the telephone for around half an hour. You can expect to identify what matters to you and what you would like to focus on. You will decide on your goals and aims throughout the sessions. With your coach, you will discuss the challenges and barriers you might face. The coach will help motivate you and support you in making healthy behaviour changes.
