Health and Wellbeing Coaching: A Cognitive-Behavioural Approach to enhance health goal achievement
Health and wellbeing coaching has become an established area of practice in the UK, Australia and USA. Health coaching has even been offered as a free service within some Primary Care Trusts in the UK. Professional bodies such as the Association for Coaching recognise health coaching as a specialism.
Motivational Interviewing is a mainstay of health-related interventions theoretically underpinned by the Transtheoretical Model of Change. Cognitive behavioural health coaching can help with behaviour change, enhance health goal achievement and also assist in relapse prevention.
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to practise health and wellbeing coaching skills and techniques in pair work or triads.Pre-workshop reading will be emailed as a PDF. The cognitive-behavioural approach will provide a framework and underpin the psychological model of health coaching
covered in this workshop. The workshop is recognised by the International Society for Coaching Psychology as providing CPD/CPE for its Members.
