What do we do?
Do you require help with making positive changes to improve your lifestyle and wellbeing? The health and wellbeing coaches can help!
Our team, which consists of two coaches, understands that you know yourself best and believe everyone can make positive changes in their lives. With that in mind, they can help you gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to improve your health and wellbeing.
They can provide support over several one-to-one sessions to:
1. Assist with the process of planning for changes – clarify your purpose and mindset
2. Assess readiness for change and help to overcome barriers and any potential challenges.
3. Motivate and encourage you by exploring tools and resources available to continue with your action plan
Health & Wellbeing coaching is not advice, therapy, or counselling. You will not be prescribed diets, meal plans, or exercise regimes, and will not be told what to do. Instead, our team will listen and help you find out what is important to you, supporting you to achieve those goals.
Who is the service for?
Health & Wellbeing coaching could be for you if:
- you are 18 +
- you have an existing or at risk of developing a long-term condition such as respiratory and cardiovascular issues (including type 2 diabetes and hypertension) as well as challenges like stress and low moods, and would like support to self-manage.
- You have decided you would like to change your lifestyle to improve your health, and do not know where or how to start.
- You are feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, stressed, worrying about weigh gain, frustrated with unsuccessful diets.
How do I access the service?
It’s simple – talk to your GP, health care professional, or ask at your GP reception to be referred to the health & wellbeing coach. You will have an initial conversation with the coach and then be booked in to have up to 6 consultations alongside the option to attend a healthy lifestyle monthly support group.
Alternatively, you can drop us an email to be connected to the team: hweicbwe.lbcwellbeingteam@nhs.net
Pre-diabetes Lifestyle & Nutrition Workshop
Patients who had recently been identified with an HbA1c of 45-46 were invited to attend a Pre-diabetes Nutrition & Lifestyle workshop at Buckhurst Way Clinic.
The workshop was designed to look at four identified pillars of lifestyle – nutrition, stress, sleep, and movement.
Through a combination of education alongside interactive activities, practical movement, and relaxation sessions, the aim was to give patients practical tools they could implement into their day to day to help them understand how they could make small changes to positively impact their condition.
“I’m so happy to follow this session, it changed my lifestyle.”
“You think you know it all but with the workshop you learn new ways.”
“I found it valuable and learned new ways to change my lifestyle.”
“I experienced more than I expected during the workshop.”
“I have decided to change my lifestyle after this workshop.”
We will be running similar workshops and monthly lifestyle support groups in the coming months.
If you would like to be kept in the loop, get in touch with your GP surgery, use the contact form on the website, or email us at Hweicbwe.lbcwellbeingteam@nhs.net
