ABSTRACT

Stress, resilience, health and wellbeing coaching have been described as speciality or niche areas of coaching with the shared aim of helping coachees achieve their health-related goals (Palmer, Tubbs, & Whybrow, 2003; Palmer, 2004). Coaching psychology has a significant contribution to make to this field of work. Underpinning the traditional health educational approach with psychological theories and models has been found to increase the likelihood that the individual will achieve and maintain the desired change (Palmer et al., 2003; Wolever et al., 2013).
