The coaching sessions are a combination of face-to-face and phone/skype sessions. We start off with a face-to-face session which will be a walking consultation and your first step towards behaviour change.

Prior to your first coaching session, you will need to complete a health & wellbeing questionnaire, which will provide the foundation for the coaching sessions. It helps both you and your coach to determine which areas of your health and wellbeing are most important to you, how ready you are to change and how confident you are that you will achieve your health goals.

THE STEPS INVOLVED IN THE COACHING PROCESS

​

• STEP 1: YOUR REASONS TO CHANGE?

  Why do you really want to change? The coaching process will help you unravel your true, deeper reasons behind your desire to change certain aspects of your health and wellbeing. The stronger and more meaningful these reasons, the easier it will be for you to stay focussed and reach your goals.

​

• STEP 2: KEEP SETTING SMART GOALS

  Big goals need to be broken down into small, achievable and specific goals. This is important to keep you motivated and on track. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time, right? Setting goals increases your accountability and ticking these off as you go along can be extremely rewarding.

​

• STEP 3: DEVELOPING STRATEGIES

  Don't be fooled - behaviour change isn't easy. Things can and probably will get in the way. It's all part of the journey. Through coaching you will learn strategies to help you overcome any obstacles along the way and to simply be prepared when things don't quite go as planned.

​

• STEP 4: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY & FEELING EMPOWERED

  Health coaching doesn't provide you with quick fix solutions to your health problems. I'm sorry! Instead, it hands the responsibility over to you. Your coach will support and guide you along the way. But really, you're in control. That sense of empowerment can be greatly satisfying.

​

• STEP 5: CREATING HABITS & LASTING CHANGE

  Ultimately, it's not just about reaching your goal and ticking off a box. In order to achieve long-term behaviour change your healthy habits need to become ingrained in your daily routine just like eating, drinking, having a shower and brushing your teeth. Congratulations! Now might be a good time to set some new goals...

BENEFITS & OUTCOMES

How Changing Habits Can Change Your Life

​

• EXERCISE

  Health coaching can help you establish an exercise routine that fits your needs, interests, goals and your schedule. Exercising doesn't necessarily mean hitting the gym. You'll be surprised how many opportunites there are throughout the day to increase your activity levels.

• EATING HABITS

  Even small changes to your eating habits can have a huge impact. Most of the time we aren't aware of our bad habits around food. Coaching will help you pick up on these and provide you with some great tools to improve your eating habits and achieve your weight loss goals - one step, or shall I say, one bite at a time.

• WORK & LEISURE

  How would you consider your work-life balance? Do you have enough time to do the things that you enjoy? In our busy world we often forget about ourselves and the things we're passionate about. The coaching process can help you to manage your time better and to prioritise the things that really matter to you.

• SLEEP & RELAXATION

  Coaching isn't always about being more active and getting stuff done. For some, setting goals around sleep, relaxation and taking time out can be more important than squeezing in another workout into an already busy week.
