Here's The Answers

What does health coaching involve?

Health coaching is a client-centred process. That means that it is completely based around what you want to achieve. It is usually an action-oriented, future-focussed process, aimed at reaching particular goals or changing certain habits. Our conversations will be focussed around your strengths and opportunities, rather than weaknesses and failures. There is at times some looking back to find out why you do the things you do, but it is not therapy. As a health coach I am not qualified to diagnose conditions or prescribe medicines or supplements - but I can refer you to people who can do this if we believe it may be useful. I operate within a strict code of practice in line with UK Health Coach Association and Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, so there may be times when I need to refer you to a trusted nutritionist, doctor, or counsellor.

What are the benefits of health coaching?

Sometimes we all need an ally we can trust who will help us find our way. If you have health goals and dreams you want to achieve, I am here for you. We can work together to build your confidence, broaden the possibilities available to you, and keep you accountable. Coaching is a process of facilitation - the hard work, however, is down to you. In each session we would hope to create some sort of action to take away that will get you closer to your goals. Homework, you could say! And we will discuss the successes you make along the way when you take that next step towards your ideal health.

How does it work?

The first step is to get in touch with me via email or social media to book a Discovery call. That's a free 20 minute call where you can ask me anything about coaching, we can get to know each other a little and you can decide whether my coaching is for you. I will tell you about the different packages and options in more details, as well as prices. After that I will invite you to register as a client and we will get your Foundation session booked in. This session will be 90 minutes long, and then following sessions will be 45 minutes long. The final session will be used as an opportunity to celebrate all of the successes you've had along the way.

How is your coaching practice regulated?

As a certified health coach, I operate within the scope of practice of the UK Health Coach Association and my qualifying coaching body, the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. You can find out more about the UK Health Coach Association Scope of Practice here: https://www.ukhealthcoaches.com/scope-of-practice

If when coaching starts I feel you need support from outside of my scope of practice, I will refer you to a trusted practitioner.

I hold professional and public liability insurance with Holistic Insurances Services.

How can I start working with you?

Contact me with the Contact form on the home pages and lets book a Discovery call! This is a 20 minute free call where we can discuss coaching and hopefully get started!

What's the cost?

Once you submit an Enquiry form here, I will send you through my different packages and price points. We can then discuss in the Discovery call which of these options may be the best for you right now, depending on your goals. To give you an idea of price right now - for a standalone Focus on Health Foundations session, I charge £99 for 90 minutes. However, if you buy a package with multiple sessions the price per hour could really come down! If you keep an eye on my socials I will advise of any special discounts or deals available too :)

What should I prepare for my initial consultation?

The initial consultation is a Discovery call so ahead of that it is ideal if you can think about what you are wanting to achieve in health coaching, your commitment levels and any questions you have about coaching.
For the first Foundation coaching session I will ask you to complete some client documents for consent etc., as well as two key documents that we will use for health coaching. One is to understand more about your strengths and one is to help you evaluate where you would like to focus your time within coaching.

Do you offer group consultations or workshops?

I am working on creating some group programmes that will run online via Zoom and in-person in North Leeds. These will be positive psychology, lifestyle and behaviour change based, and will allow the power of community to have an even greater impact on all participants success.
I can also be commissioned to create bespoke corporate health and wellbeing workshops for employers who are looking to take of their staff.
Public workshops and programmes will be advertised on this website and my social media. For corporate commissions, please email me and we can plan a meeting to discuss.

What happens if I sign up for coaching and it doesn't work out?

We all know that life happens, and circumstances change. Usually in these situations of change, is when coaching is at its most powerful. However when you sign up to coaching, my refund policy is clearly outlined in the coaching agreement you will need to sign before we start sessions.
