The differences between a Life and Health Coach

Lin Palmer, a professional certified Life Coach & Health Coach in Hailsham answers the common question… What are the differences? 

Well, sometimes we get ‘stuck’ in life, have negative thoughts, mental blocks, are unhappy but don’t always know why. We are existing, but not actually living. 

The way you think, and your mindset can be barriers to your performance and life’s pleasures. 

That’s where I come in, life coaching is a form of talking therapy and empowers you to make positive changes to your life, either part of it or all of it. 

I help and support your decisions to make those changes in your life, and to reach your goals, giving you a skillset to overcome obstacles, whilst gaining self-belief and self-confidence, enabling you to live your life to the full. 

You’ve probably never thought about a health coach before, and when we think of risks to our health we tend to think of smoking, alcohol, and substance misuse. However, if you have an unhealthy lifestyle; an unbalanced diet, lack of exercise and sleep, it is harmful and puts you at risk of serious health conditions, like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke, as well as reducing your life expectancy. 

Health coaching is for anyone; to improve your quality of life, to greatly reduce your risk of serious health conditions, to be a healthy weight, to have a balanced diet, for your overall wellbeing. 

By empowering, supporting, and motivating you to make your own healthy choices, together, you and I can make simple, healthy changes to your daily life so you can take back control and achieve optimal wellness.
