Those with roles in health or social care settings, working in the statutory or voluntary sectors will find it particularly useful.

What is Person Centred Coaching?

Person centred coaching describes many different interventions that ‘coach’ or actively support people to self-care. It involves a move away from a dependent model to one that is person centred, empowering, and based around a person’s own aspirations and goals. It aims to raise awareness and responsibility of the person for their own health and wellbeing, achieved through a transformation in the practitioner/service user relationship.

Person centred coaching is based on strong provider communication and negotiation skills, informed, service user-defined goals, conscious choices, exploration of the consequences of decisions, & service user accountability for decisions made.

The benefits of person centred coaching:

Person centred coaching combines coaching methodologies with psychological and behavioural change interventions to enable transformative conversations in health and care settings. Through the programme, practitioners and volunteers can learn to use health coaching mindsets, skills and techniques in conjunction with their topic knowledge to enable people to become more activated and take greater responsibility for their health, care and lives.

Person centred coaching approach sees people as truly resourceful, as an equal, and as the holders of the solutions to the challenges that they face. It sees a practitioner’s role as including the provision of expert information when it is required, and as a mechanism to support the setting of meaningful goals and the framing of conversations/ consultations in which a patient is supported to make decisions about their own health and care that is supported by expert input when required. Benefits include:-

* Increased patient activation

* Increases in preventative behaviours and self-management

* Improved practitioner-service user communication and partnership

* Long term sustained benefits in terms of cost reductions and service development

* Engaged clinicians who can more efficiently respond in how they deliver services and prevent future high use of resources
