Everyone needs support sometimes.

A Health Coach is trained in coaching. They will help you set and achieve goals, big and small, to positively improve your life, health and/or wellbeing, and connect you to community resources. They can also help you navigate the health and social care system and link you with other agencies and local support.

A Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) is a registered health professional in a health care role like a nurse, social worker, occupational therapist, counsellor, or psychologist and they have expertise in mental health and talking therapies. HIPs are trained to help you navigate negative thoughts, feelings, or actions.

For a Health Coach or Health Improvement Practitioner you can self-refer either by calling your doctor's practice/medical centre for an appointment or completing our self-referral form. If you already have an appointment with your doctor, they can refer you too!

For Counselling or Social Work, speak to your doctor or HIP for a referral. You can also use our self-referral-form.
