9. “… a patient-centred approach wherein patients at least
partially determine their goals, use self-discovery or active
learning processes together with content education to work
towards their goals, and self-monitor behaviours to increase
accountability, all within the context of an interpersonal
relationship with a coach.
The coach is trained in behaviour change theory, motivational
strategies, and communication techniques, which are used to
assist patients to develop intrinsic motivation and obtain skills
to create sustainable change for improved health and well-
being.”

What is Health Coaching?
10. Lay Coaches
• Lay coaching can exist as a stand alone service
• Coaching can become part of a clinicans role - for use within
consultation, focus on specific health related behavours or
condition specific, bound by service framework within clinics (eg.
East of England work)
• Focus on self-management support, rather than traditional health
remit.
• Lay self-management / health coaches don’t comment on or advise
about the specifics of a health condition, but can support with skills
of self-management
• Non-clinical service set-up enables a stronger focus on what is
important to the individual even if not health-related.
• Dedicated coaching services can work more intensively with
someone, and follow-up more effectively
• There is a debate about the necessity of lived experience in the
self-management coach role.
12. • Be aware of and maintain appropriate boundaries
• Manage and make effective use of time
• Appropriate use of goal setting
• Appropriate use of problem solving and goal follow up
• Understanding of the bio-psychosocial model of health
• Use a solution-focussed approach
• Create and maintain a safe and positive relationship
• Support and encourage behaviour change by using
motivational and coaching skills during goal-setting and
goal-follow-up
• Working understanding of social learning and self-
determination theory
• Be responsive to the needs of the client
Core Competencies
of non-clinical self-management coaches
13. • L2/3 counselling/life
coaching
• People who have come
through the service or other
similar self-management
programmes such as Expert
Patient Programme
• Open recruitment (avoiding
traditional application
processes that puts some
people off)
Prior learning is assessed through a skills role play that covers in
condensed form the four stages of the coaching model.
Recruiting self-management coaches
14. Training
• Full training is 35 hours with additional mandatory training for Safeguarding
and Information Governance (in accordance with the employing
organisations policies and procedures and may include addition training on
issues such as lone working etc.)
• Trainees have ongoing continuous assessment through the training and
observation of practice sessions.
• Coaches should have one observed session with a client and receive
feedback.
• Coaches are encouraged to keep a reflective learning log.
• All full time coaches are required to attend a minimum of an hour individual
supervision at least once per calendar month.
• All coaches are required to do one case study per annum. This will be an in
depth review of one client combined with one observed session with the
client or for one session to be recorded.
• Coaches should attend a minimum of two skills review sessions per annum.
15. • Non-clinical nature of the role and
conversations mean…
“I’ve never told anyone this before”
“I’d never say this to my doctor”
Safeguarding boundaries
