About Health and Wellbeing

Health and Wellbeing Coaching is about giving you the support to make positive changes in your life.

Whether you want to get more active, lose weight, eat a healthier diet, or boost your overall physical or mental health, coaching can give you the information, encouragement, and plan to do it.

Our coaches offer non-medical services to support, educate, and motivate people to make positive lifestyle changes.

Over the course of a 12-week programme, our coach will work to understand what is important to you and help you achieve your goals.

They don’t prescribe weight loss treatment or other medication.
