How can I help clients who may be “stuck” and unable to reach their health goals?
If you regularly provide support or care to people, you probably know that frustrating feeling when things just don’t seem to be progressing as you’d hoped. It can leave you wondering what to do next, especially if you feel like you’re lacking the right skills to make a difference.
That’s where health coaching comes in. It gives you a handy “toolkit” filled with skills and techniques to help people in various situations and with different needs.
These are some of the key skills and tools a qualification in health coaching can give you:
- Tailoring support: You’ll learn how to customise your support to fit each person’s unique needs. By letting them take the lead in their decisions, you can boost their engagement and drive real change.
- Person-centered approaches: Techniques like exploring beliefs and values, self-reflection, and guided imagery can help your clients gain insight into their behaviors and motivations, making meaningful change much more likely.
- Behavior change techniques: You’ll get to know a variety of behavior change and motivational interviewing techniques, and you’ll learn when to use them for the best effect.
- Goal setting: You’ll be equipped to set goals and create action plans that consider each person’s strengths and circumstances, making it easier for them to stay on track.
- Skill development: You’ll help clients build specific skills that make achieving their overall health goals much more manageable.
- Knowing when to seek more support: It’s important to know when someone might need extra support and how to encourage them to reach out for it.
If you are a health professional or someone who works with people to improve their health and wellbeing, a course in health coaching could help you to take your support to the next level. We feel confident that with these tools, you’ll feel much more confident in your ability to support others effectively.
