Wellness Coaching
Wellness coaching is a way of working collaboratively with a wellness coach to improve your sense of wellness. Wellness as a concept means different things for different people. Some people are very much in touch with a feeling of wellness whilst others do not think about it at all and do not know what wellness really feels like.
The way we look after ourselves everyday contributes to our sense of wellness. Our daily habits relating to sleep, what we eat, the exercise we do and stress levels all influence our wellness.
We offer wellness coaching as an adjunct to therapy but also as a stand alone coaching service. Our wellness coaching covers several key areas which influence our wellness. these include: mental wellness, emotional wellness, somatic wellness, spiritual wellness, environmental wellness and the external influences on these different areas.
Wellness coaching format is dependent on what you might want to work on. We might set some wellness goals, work on some wellness exercises or talk through what wellness means and how you might find ways to feel well in your everyday life.
Our wellness coaching also has a spiritual and transpersonal backdrop. We prioritise your connection to your spiritual self because without this connection it is difficult to feel truly well.
Wellness Coaching Topics
Mind Wellness
Our minds and the way we think influences the way we feel and behave. We help you to change the way you think to change the way you feel.
Spiritual Wellness
We need to establish a connection and remain connected to our spiritual nature. This is our essence and who we are. Prioritising this connection is imperative for overall wellness.
Emotional Wellness
Emotional wellness is about the mind and the body. Working in a somatic way directly with the body influences how we experience ourselves emotionally.
Environmental Wellness
The environment we spend lots of time in influences the way we feel. We can't all live by the sea or influence our environment all the time but we can make a choice to change our environment as often as we can when the opportunity arises.
Physical Wellness
'My body is a temple'. Is it? Looking after our bodies is a body up approach. If your body in not feeling well and is not looked after you will not feel well.
Lifestyle Wellness
What we do everyday influences how we feel. Creating a life with a healthy life style is about balance. Not too much or too little of one thing. Wellness coaching can help you to address the imbalances in your own life.
Professional help for wellness
Matthew Alderton - Wellness Coach
MA, BSc, PG Dip, PG Dip Psych
Feeling well is important for life. Our ability to nurture and comfort ourselves is important for us to feel well. Increasingly the pressures of daily life pulls us away from wellness. If we don't feel well we can't enjoy life. I can help you to work on areas that influence your feeling of wellness. Feeling and being well are connected and are influenced by our daily habits and the company we keep. We are not necessarily in a position to make wholesale changes to our lives but we can make small adjustments which can have a positive impact. Feeling well isn't always a choice but we can do things which move things in a positive direction. Once examples might be creating a nurturing space for ourselves or a regular spiritual practice.
Breathwork
At the base of emotion is the breath. The way we feel is dictated by the way we breath and the way we breath is dictated by the feel. When we learn to breath for wellness we feel well.
Cognitive Behavioural Coaching
Sometimes in life we just need to change our viewpoint. We are our own projectors for the world we see and create. Cognitive reframing is just one way we can start to see things in a different way.
Mindfulness Practice
Meeting the present moment without judgement with mindfulness based practice is about being as opposed to doing. It can help us to become connected to our true selves and feel well.
EMDR Resourcing
EMDR stands for eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy. We also use it to strengthen internal resources you already have for wellness and create new ones with EMDR resourcing for wellness.
Visualisation
It is difficult to achieve something that we cannot see or visualise. When we visualise something it makes it more achievable by creating a neural network. When we strengthen it with reinforcement it makes something a real possibility.
Practical Support
In practical support for wellness we might talk through things which can influence your wellness positively. Things like journaling, lifestyle changes, habits and gratitude are discussed to give you a toolbox for wellness.
Wellness Coaching Style
Wellness coaching starts with us getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. We get to know you and your ecology. What sort of thing do you do each day and. what are your personal and professional circumstances.
Wellness coaching and feeling well is all about flow. We take a relaxed approach in wellness coaching as we meander together towards a goal or work on a wellness exercise. We might work on something different each week or work in a more focused way with one type of wellness approach. For example. Some clients come to us just to explore mindfulness. How to be mindful, establish a mindfulness based practice like meditation or explore how it might help them.
In wellness coaching we work on what you would like to work on, at your pace. You are always in control of the topic we work on in each session.
