Nature of the health coaching relationship
The client is hiring the coach for a coaching relationship and not for any other type of professional work. The coach will partner with the client with the understanding that the client is responsible for creating his or her own results. Coach and client will work collaboratively, and the coach will provide support to the client in identifying and achieving goals. A coaching relationship is not psychotherapy. Our work together is goal oriented and action focused. As a social worker, I am able to and may elect to utilize some counselling techniques in order to support your goal pursuits, however we are not engaging in therapy. Some coaching clients may benefit from psychotherapy as part of their health journey. Should that be the case, I am happy to refer to other practitioners who can offer that type of support alongside our coaching work or, for some clients offer that support instead of or before the coaching work continues.
2. About health coaching
Health coaching is a process that facilitates healthy, sustainable behaviour change by challenging a client to develop their inner wisdom, identify their values, and transform their goals into action. We will co-create goals, identify strengths, build on successes, explore new ideas and strategies, and monitor progress. Health coaching requires a significant amount of work on the clients part which may include logging food (for example consumption and choices), client activity including exercise, exploring new food choices, examining current habits, and looking at past successes.
3. Fees and Payment
Sessions can be paid for by debit, credit card, or E-Transfer. A receipt will be issued immediately to the client. The coach does not provide any direct billing to insurance companies or benefits plans. Clients are solely responsible for submitting receipts for reimbursement through extended health benefits plans, if applicable. These services are also able to be written off as medical expenses for tax purposes. Payment plans are available. Please select your chosen package and how you would like to pay below.
