Free NHS Health & Wellbeing Coaching – Self‑Refer Today

12‑week non‑medical support to help you move more, eat well, and live healthier with our qualified coaches

How It Works

Health and Wellbeing Coaching is about practical, personalised support—not prescriptions.

Our coaches won’t give you medication or weight-loss drugs like Mounjaro. Instead, they’ll work with you to build lasting lifestyle changes that support your physical and mental wellbeing.

Here’s what to expect:

  • You set the goal – whether that’s getting more active, eating better, losing weight, managing a long-term condition, or improving your mental health.
  • We make a plan – your coach will help you understand your habits and create realistic steps you can stick to.
  • You get support – over 12 weeks, your coach will guide, motivate, and support you to stay on track—without judgement.

This is a non-medical service, focused on helping you take control of your health through education, encouragement, and expert coaching – not prescriptions.

Our Coaches

We are very fortunate to have two excellent Health and Wellbeing Coaches working with our GP practices in Gosforth and Jesmond.

Rachel McIntyre and Hannah Parks are both qualified health coaches and experts in nutrition. They offer support for weight management, living well with type-2 diabetes, and low-level mental health problems like anxiety.
