“Health & Wellness coaching is a Science and an Art form, not just a process. Fundamentally, Health & Wellness coaching encompasses the sciences of positive psychology, behaviour change, nutrition, exercise and lifestyle medicine with the dynamic art of relationships, teamwork and community, as well as Coaching techniques”.

Chronic illness or health challenges
If you’ve tried everything to feel healthier but feel like you've hit a wall, mental wellness coaching can help you take the next step in your journey. You know that improving your stress management, building healthier habits, and focusing on your mental well-being are key to making real progress in your physical health. The mind and body are deeply interconnected—by addressing both, you can build a foundation for healing and well-being that supports your long-term health.
Stress and Burnout
If you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you're running on empty, mental wellness coaching can help you manage stress and recover from burnout. Together, we'll explore ways to restore balance, set healthy boundaries, and develop strategies for long-term resilience.
Anxiety or Depression
(mild to moderate)
If you're struggling with feelings of anxiety or low mood, coaching can help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and take actionable steps toward improving your mental well-being. You'll be supported in finding practical, sustainable lifestyle changes to manage and reduce symptoms.
Life Transition Support
Life changes—like a career shift, relationship changes, or moving—can be challenging and overhwelming. Coaching offers a safe space to navigate these transitions, explore new possibilities, and align your choices with your values and goals.
WHAT IS IT?
In mental wellness coaching, we create a supportive space for you to explore not just your habits but also how different parts of your life affect your mental well-being.
We look at things like emotional health, stress management, values, mindset, and more—beyond the usual fitness areas. Together, we set goals for your mental well-being, and we work through challenges along the way.
What makes mental wellness coaching special is that you're not told what to do. Instead, you get information and support to make your own choices and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
Mental wellness coaching focuses on your present and future, working collaboratively to set and achieve specific goals. This approach is proactive, holistic, and emphasises empowerment and accountability. In contrast, counselling often explores past emotions, provides emotional support, and may have a more reactive focus.
It's important to note that mental wellness coaching is not a substitute for therapy or medical treatment. Instead, it complements these services by focusing on personal development, goal-setting, and enhancing overall well-being. Individuals with severe mental health conditions may benefit more from the expertise of mental health professionals such as therapists or psychologists.
TERMS EXPLAINED
Lifestyle Medicine is an approach that focuses on improving mental health and well-being through evidence-based lifestyle changes. It encourages practices like healthy eating, regular exercise, stress management, and quality sleep to prevent and manage mental health challenges. Lifestyle medicine empowers individuals to take control of their health by making sustainable, positive changes to their daily habits.
​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals accept what is beyond their control, commit to actions that enrich their lives, and align their actions with their values. It focuses on mindfulness, acceptance, and behaviour change to enhance psychological flexibility and well-being.
Being trauma-informed means recognising the widespread impact of trauma, understanding its potential effects on individuals, and integrating this awareness into coaching practices. It involves creating a safe and supportive environment, adopting approaches that empower. Trauma-informed coaching prioritises sensitivity, collaboration, and cultivating a feeling of control and safety for the client.
