and the rise of #healthcoaching
Or do you (B) help patients and clients explore what matters to them, what opportunities they have and challenges they face, and determine what changes they’re ready for?
Do you empower clients and patients themselves to communicate their needs, let them become highly involved in the decision making process and find out what access to resources they have?
Do you experiment with different healthy behaviour changes in a non-clinical setting, support them with coping plans, help them with accountability strategies, ways to track their progress, and connect their goals to their long-term vision of health and well-being?
This is how health coaches partner with clients.
The motivational approach utilised asserts that changing behaviour is the measurable outcome of altering three distinct things: underlying beliefs, values and priorities.
These encompass the deep-rooted reasons people do the things they do, also known as the WHY.
Viewing behaviour change as a holistic process, the health coaching approach takes into consideration that humans are influenced by a variety of factors, and these non-clinical circumstances must be accounted for, and understood.
During a health coaching partnership, the coach guides the conversation, however the client is effectively leading their own program.
If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.
If you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.
A truly effective health coach approach empowers clients and allows them to exercise self-direction and choice, and to master their own behaviours.
