  • Our specialists assess each individual’s readiness to change, identifying barriers and current habits. Using these insights, they provide personalised guidance to empower sustainable lifestyle shifts. Finally, specialists and individuals co-produce a tailored action plan with specific goals for a set timeframe.
  • Sessions are typically held on a 1-2-1 basis, but groups will be explored depending on need. Innovative solutions are required to help provide support for the ongoing maintenance of behaviour change. This will include community or peer support along with digital innovations.
  • Our specialist will follow up with all individuals 6 and 12 months post completion, and individuals who have not maintained their behaviour change will be offered a referral to further appropriate support.
