What is a Wellcoach?<\/h3>\n

A wellcoach is someone who specializes in wellness and health issues. Wellcoaches work with clients on nutrition, exercise, disease prevention, weight loss, and general overall health improvement. It\u2019s an industry that is growing by leaps and bounds \u2013 though we live in a fast-food society and an alarmingly high number of Americans are obese, there is still a strong desire across the country to get healthier. This is where a wellcoach would come in.<\/p>\n

Wellcoaches coaching psychology<\/strong> can consider the principles of four well-known psychology models which support behavior change and personal growth.

Wellcoaches Coaching Psychology \u2013 Four Strategies to Use in Your Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change<\/li>\n
  2. Motivational Interviewing<\/li>\n
  3. Choice Theory<\/li>\n
  4. Solution-oriented Psychotherapy<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change<\/h3>\n

    When using this strategy, a coach first categorizes the levels of readiness for change in each client. Next, certain variables are considered – decision-making ability, state of change, self-efficacy, and the potential for creating a process of change. This method goes against the grain of most coaching philosophies since it explores the client’s past, but it is still future oriented as understanding past aberrant and predictable behaviors can help produce future outcomes.<\/p>\n

    Motivational Interviewing<\/h3>\n

    This is another wellcoaches coaching psychology<\/span> model that explores the past and breaks a bit with how most coaches approach their practices. This is a counseling method that has been used in the field of addiction for many years. It helps determine what factors are necessary to initiate and support change. It’s true connection to coaching is the use of inquiry and active listening, both extremely important skills in the coaching industry.<\/p>\n

    Choice Theory<\/h3>\n

    The basic foundation of Choice Theory is that individuals all have four basic psychological needs \u2013 freedom, fun, love or belonging, and power. When any of these needs are not being met, a want is created. When a want is created, the client may choose a behavior \u2013 in some cases this behavior may be negative. This wellcoaches coaching psychology<\/strong> model operates under the assumption that the client has the power to make all their own choices and that only the individual can make personal changes.<\/p>\n

    Solution-Oriented Psychotherapy<\/h3>\n

    This is another psychological model that should fit right in to any current wellcoach\u2019s coaching psychology. With this model, coaches help client identify their strengths, talents, and abilities. Coaches help clients change the way they view a challenging situation, and how they can use their own strengths and abilities to react to various situations or circumstances.<\/p>\n
