Join us for a Discover UKIHCA Open House Session, a friendly, informal online event designed to help you understand the health coaching profession and take your next step with confidence.

Discover what health coaching is really about

Health coaching is a growing profession focused on helping people make sustainable changes that support their health, goals and quality of life. Professional health coaches use evidence-informed coaching approaches to help clients identify what matters to them, build confidence and turn intentions into meaningful action.

At UKIHCA, we are committed to supporting the development of a professional, credible and accountable health coaching workforce.

Why UKIHCA?

The UK & International Health Coaching Association (UKIHCA) is the professional body for health coaches in the UK and internationally.

We work to raise standards across the profession and provide a clear pathway for people who want to train and develop as professional health coaches.

During the session, we’ll explain:

• The role of UKIHCA and why professional standards matter
• What health coaches do and the different settings and career opportunities available
• The training journey, including what to look for when choosing a health coach training programme
• UKIHCA-approved training programmes, with a variety of approaches and providers to explore
• UKIHCA Student Membership and the benefits of joining a vibrant community of people who are training to become professional health coaches
• What happens after your training, including opportunities for professional development and progression within the profession
• How UKIHCA can support you as you develop your career

There isn't a single route that will suit everyone.
