Health Coaching

Health Coaching is not a program but is a system of evidence-based principles and techniques that have been built into a
structure that guides health professionals
in how to facilitate health behavior change
in their patients or clients, for better health outcomes.

The processes actively identify and address behavioral, emotional, situational and cognitive barriers to change and build patient skills in decision making, problem solving and planning and skills for promoting and supporting health behaviour change.
