Common questions: FAQ

Do I need a health coach call?

Most people can get started independently using the resources above.  A call is only needed if you’d like optional behavioural support alongside the programme.

What does behavioural support involve?

Up to 6 calls over approximately 12 weeks to help you make realistic sustainable changes – with optional contact between sessions if needed.   Support focusses on structure, reflection and staying consistent.

You’re also welcome to join:

  • Healthy Habits Group – fortnightly, 2nd and 4th Tuesday, Earls Colne
  • Diabetes Support Group  – monthly, 2nd Monday, Halstead.

Your discovery call

If you’ve been booked a call, please review the programme and support information above beforehand.  The call is to confirm whether you’d like to go ahead with support, discuss your starting approach and book your first session.

If you’re happy to get started independently, you’re welcome to cancel your appointment.
