Coaching for Long-term Health Conditions

I specialise in coaching clients with long-term health conditions who want to make changes to improve their wellbeing and optimise their health. This might be around lifestyle changes, making adjustments at work, or improving the way you communicate about your needs.

I also work with anyone contemplating career changes in the context of health difficulties. I have a particular interest in coaching healthcare professionals and small business owners in the wellness sector. With experience as a senior NHS clinician and of running my own private practice, I fully understand the personal and professional demands of this work and the importance of attending to your own wellbeing.

My coaching approach is informed by many years working as a Chartered Psychologist in multidisciplinary healthcare settings, with people with a range of long-term physical health conditions. I am further completing a Diploma in Integrative Coaching, and working towards accreditation with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

My Coaching approach

Coaching provides a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore an area of life where you would like to make change. It is a collaborative partnership where the coach uses active listening, reflective questioning and other techniques to clarify your values, goals, and strengths. A coach does not necessarily give advice, but helps guide you to your own solutions. The aim is to build awareness of the direction you would like to move in and identify what might get in the way, so that you feel empowered to take meaningful action.

Coaching psychology uses evidence-based psychological models and techniques to help people gain deep insights into their patterns of thinking and behaviour. The field of Coaching Psychology has grown rapidly in recent years, with coaching approaches evolving from well-establish talking therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In coaching, these models are used to help optimise performance and wellbeing, rather than to alleviate emotional distress.

As a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, my coaching approach is grounded in evidence-based psychological theory of how we as humans think, feel, and behave. I use Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC), Acceptance and Commitment Coaching (ACC), as well as mindfulness, somatic and visualisation techniques.
