Welcome to the home of Health Coaching

UK & International Health Coaching Association is the leading professional body for health coaches in the UK and internationally.

Independence, professionalism and public trust

We are an independent, non-profit organisation, operating in the third sector. Free from commercial influence, control or ties that could compromise our independence, we exist to advance the health and wellbeing coaching profession, protect the public and uphold high standards of ethical, evidence-informed practice.

Our members are fully qualified and credentialed professionals who have satisfied our robust professional standards and work within a defined scope of practice.

Health and wellbeing coaches work across the NHS, public services, charities, education, workplaces and independent practice. Wherever coaches work, professional integrity, client-centred care and accountability are defined by standards, supervision and ethical practice, not by sector or funding model.

Our commitment

We are committed to working constructively with:

• NHS leaders, public and third sector organisations
• Policymakers and commissioners
• Professional bodies and partners in the UK and internationally

Our shared goal is to advance health and wellbeing coaching as a unified, credible, ethical and effective profession that serves individuals, communities and health systems.
