    Case Studies

    “A woman who came in with general problem. We quickly homed in on what was important to her and empowered her to approach social services for support. All done in 10 mins and she left looking happy and listened to. Could have taken me 30 mins, blood tests, repeated consultations to follow up etc. and felt unsatisfying to me.” – GP, North Central London
    “Coaching a patient who wanted to lose weight. Didn’t know where to start: disliked the gym and exhausted from traditional advice given. They agreed to make smaller changes which made the problem seem more manageable. For me, this took the pressure off trying to find a solution as the patient was able to find one herself. The initial change helped her feel more motivated to change other aspects of her diet and lifestyle.” – Pharmacist, London
    “Two people with mental health difficulties: felt lost, angry and both faced a personal conundrum. Coaching helped them clarify their goal and how to achieve it. Both felt relieved and happy and so did I. Both could have escalated and ended up in crisis but a little conversation averted anything serious happening.” – Community practitioner, North West London
    “A young gentleman that had not left his home for two years has been able to leave his home on a daily basis after the use of coaching techniques. Giving him the opportunity to think and take responsibility about ‘how to make changes’ impacted him immensely. He continues to make good progress.” – Occupational Therapist, North West London
