Certified health coaches are able to hold a safe space for clients, so that they feel able to bring in their health concerns and co-create sustainable steps towards their health and wellness goals.
Additionally, our certified health coaches are trained not only in the distinctions of health and wellness coaching, but also the required ethical standards and the most important behaviour change methodologies.
According to the National Board of Health and Wellness for Coaching, “Health & wellness coaches partner with clients seeking to enhance their well-being through self-directed, lasting changes, aligned with their values. In the course of their work, health & wellness coaches display an unconditional positive regard for their clients and a belief in their capacity for change, honoring the fact that each client is an expert on their own life while ensuring that all interactions are respectful and non-judgmental”.
We think this definition represents very well the spirit of health coaching and the standards of the health coaching program we offer.
Health Coaching is a client-centred process. A good health coach knows well how to evoke the clients’ internal motivation and leverage their strengths to confidently navigate the journey of building sustainable change.
The main focus of a health coach is to support clients to find their internal motivation, create sustainable actions towards their health and wellness goals and in time, realise their health and wellness vision.
Health coaches focus on behaviours and mindsets that can shift the way that the client sees their world in order for them to create new actions and obtain different results in the area of health and wellness.
Life coaches focus more on broader aspects of life. But of course, health and wellness impact all aspects of life. We believe that health and wellness coaching should be an integral part of all coaching.
Coaches and clients engage in sessions that are personalised to their own vision and goals. They explore their own limiting beliefs, mindsets and excuses that have been getting in the way of achieving higher levels of wellness. By uncovering the client’s intrinsic motivation, they co-create a path to build new habits and practices that will lead them to their desired goals.
A healthy, rested, happy and fulfilled person performs well (in life and professionally). They have better relationships and are able to contribute more to society. This is an aspirational state for most, if not all of us. However, many people are unused to taking proactive care of their health, and wait until physical symptoms and chronic lifestyle-related diseases start to occur.
Despite all the health information available online and all the risks associated with unhealthy lifestyles, many people still struggle to navigate all the obstacles associated with introducing new healthy habits. People want to be well, to feel in control of their lives and to have more energy but often feel lost as to how to go about it.
The Coach Partnership approach to health coaching focuses on a whole-person view of health and wellness and supports clients to build the necessary self-confidence to create sustainable healthy practices. With the advent of COVID-19, the importance of individuals proactively taking responsibility for their own health and wellness journey has never been greater.
