Referring into Health Connect Coaching

Health Connect Coaching is suitable for adults living with one or more long-term physical health conditions who:

Are finding it difficult to manage their physical condition
Would benefit from peer support from someone with lived experience
Want to build confidence, motivation and self-management skills
Are open to taking part in online, one-to-one coaching sessions
Can commit to regular sessions over a four-six-month period
Are not accessing or waiting to access psychological therapies e.g. mental health counselling

The programme is designed to complement existing clinical care and is not a replacement for medical treatment, advice or specialist services.

While mental health may be discussed, our volunteer coaches are not trained to provide specialist mental health support. If this is your main need, our coordinators can connect you with the right services.

We accept referrals from both health and social care professionals as well as self-referrals.
