We like to be able to help people as soon as they need it. Our clinically-led and evidence based work support service is designed to enable individuals to self-manage their symptoms, remain in or return to work when ready. We focus on physical, cognitive, psychological and emotional components of illness.  We provide health coaching support with a strong vocational bias to help people restore their day-to-day functioning and quality of life and return to work when ready.  We believe that good work is an important part of the recovery pathway and is an outcome that we work towards.

What do we provide? 

 

Your claimant or employee will be referred to one of our specialist HCPC registered health coaches.  They will carry out a full biopsychosocial assessment with a focus on work to understand what the individual needs to help them to self-manage their symptoms and return to work. You will be provided with a detailed report with our clinician’s recommendations for the support they believe will best support your employee or claimant to help them to return to work when ready.

 

Following the assessment the health coach will work with the individual over a period of time to coach them in such things as sleep, pain, fatigue management so that they can make changes to their life that will help them to start to recover and to manage their symptoms both in their personal and work lives.

 

We are also able to step people into psychotherapeutic support if need be.

 

We find that some people may just need a few sessions with our health coaches whilst others can be with us for 6 to 9 months. We offer an individualised approach as we know from our wealth of experience that a set programme doesn’t work for many people. We will always discuss with you in advance how much time we predict will be needed and keep in regular contact with you as to the individual’s progress.  

The service is for people who have recently had a stroke and who need ongoing support, post NHS input to help them to continue their recovery process. We provide physical, cognitive and psychological support, helping them to adapt to their new life circumstance, work with rather than battle their symptoms and help them with any emotional and mood difficulties.  We help people who want to regain their capacity to work and help them with return to work planning and support.   

To help people to recover, improve their day to day functioning and quality of life and support them with their return to work plans.

Our clinical team consist of Occupational Psychologists, Health Psychologists, Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists.  The clinical health coach may come from any of these professions.  We provide specialist training for all our clinical team to work as a clinical health coach and they also work as a team to support each individual person with expert skills to thrive again. 

Yes! We liaise with their employers and occupational health if needed and provide input beyond the first day at work to ensure that they remain at work for the long term.   We support line managers to implement return to work plans and help them to make reasonable adjustments for their employee.
