Health and Wellbeing Coaches
At Bridge View Medical we have three Health and Wellbeing Coaches, Daisy, Lucy and Catherine, who help to support our patients 18 years and over to self-manage and change their lifestyle and help them reach their goals
The role of the Health and Wellbeing Coach is to:
- Support people to improve their ability to self-manage, increase motivation levels and commitment to change their lifestyle
- Enable behavioural change and focus on improving health-related outcomes by working with people to set personalised goals and change their behaviours
Health and Wellbeing Coaching can be an effective intervention for people experiencing a range of long-term conditions, including respiratory, cardiovascular, (including Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension), pain, stress and low mood. Coaching can also support people with weight management, diet and increasing activity levels.
A Health coach will help you gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to improve your health and wellbeing. Nobody knows you better than you know yourself, and we believe everyone is capable of making positive changes in their lives. Together we will:
- explore what is important for your life and wellbeing
- identify the local activities and services you can benefit from
- gain support and encouragement to start using services that can help you
A Health coach does not:
- tell you what to do or make decisions for you
- give a diagnosis for a medical concern
- prescribe you medication or give you medical advice
A Health coach does:
- listen to you
- try to understand the whole picture of your health and wellbeing
- allow you to lead your own lifestyle changes and make decisions
- work alongside you
- offer guidance and support to help you achieve your goals
