Practical Health Coaching Skills for Health Professionals

Tuesday 7 October 2025 | 6:30pm-7:30pm AEDT (5.30pm-6.30pm AEST / 8.30pm-9.30pm NZDT)

As health professionals, we know lifestyle change is central to preventing and managing chronic conditions—but supporting clients to actually make those changes can feel frustrating, ineffective, or exhausting.

That’s where health coaching skills can make all the difference. By weaving simple coaching strategies into your consults, you shift from telling clients what to do, to guiding them to uncover their own motivation and set realistic, client-centred goals.

The result? More effective conversations, better follow-through from clients, and less burnout for you.

In this practical webinar, you’ll learn a core toolkit of health coaching strategies designed to fit into busy consults. You’ll leave with skills you can use straight away to make your practice more effective, efficient, and rewarding – for both you and your clients.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Explain the difference between an “expert” approach and a coaching approach—and when each is most effective.
  • Use a simple framework to set collaborative, client-centred goals.
  • Apply practical techniques to tap into a client’s motivation for change.
  • Share your expertise in a way that honours a client’s experience and autonomy.
  • Walk away with strategies that save time while increasing client engagement and outcomes. 

Includes 15 minutes for live Q&A.
