Choice and Control Peer Coaching Service

Our service is designed to work alongside clients to improve their quality of life by providing flexible coaching support.

Clients will be offered up to 10 hours of coaching sessions and these can be taken in a variety of ways in terms of timing and location. The Peer Coach will help clients to focus on what is important to them and how they want to improve their health and wellbeing. Being practitioners with lived experience of mental health and sometimes physical health issues, they share a real understanding of living with mental and physical health conditions.

The Choice and Control Peer Coaching Service is specifically for two groups of people:

1. People with both a long term physical health problem that they have to manage and a mental health condition and
2. People who are listed with their GPs as having a Severe Mental Illness (namely bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizo-affective disorder and other psychosis) who are at high risk of physical health issues
