FAQs
How Wellbeing Coaching can help you release your Chronic Fatigue symptoms.
When searching for a Wellbeing Coaching Professional it's important to ask the right questions. Below you will find a compilation of the most common questions I’ve been asked about coaching and the services I provide. If you still have questions after reading through the FAQs, please give me a call or send me an email.
How is Wellbeing Coaching different to Coaching?
The definition of Coaching is: “A process in which one person interacts with another in a particular context that results in improving the future for the other person”.
Wellbeing Coaching is the same, except it is a relationship that can support a committed client to alter one of more aspects of their life specifically in relation to their health and wellbeing.
As a Wellbeing Coach I use a combination of skills and techniques to facilitate fulfilment of my clients’ potential (see examples on 'Testimonials' tab). Methods include motivational support, goal setting, information sharing, teaching, and problem solving.
Client Quote: "Thankfully Heather's listening skills enabled her to really hear me and in doing so show me possible ways through"
What makes you different as a Wellbeing Coach?
Having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) myself I understand what your are going through, and have a wealth of experience in what works and what doesn't.
I also understand how to support clients to take back control by using the holistic bio-psycho-social model of care grounded in theory and practice.
Most Practitioners work independently of others, which means you don’t receive the wrap around support that I offer as a Chrysalis Effect Practitioner. This is because I work in a fully integrated holistic way alongside the online Chrysalis Effect Pathway.
I also head up a team of holistic practitioners that I can cross refer my clients to, if and when they need it.
What are your qualifications?
I am an Chrysalis Effect Accredited Practitioner in Recovery from CFS/ME, Fibromyalgia, and Post Viral Fatigue, and Accredited Wellbeing Coach (ILM). I am also a member of the FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists). I am also a Doctor in Health Psychology (PhD) with a focus on behaviour change for health and wellbeing.
Previously I worked for 15 years as a Registered Nurse, and as a NHS Health Trainer in GP practices supporting people experiencing chronic illness.
Do you have a clear process to follow?
The service I offer provides a clear roadmap to help you achieve your health goals. I provide a step-by-step program of support that is based on where you are on your journey back to health.

Do you undertake CPD and Supervision in ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and Post Viral Fatigue?
Yes, it is important for my clients that I am fully up-to-date with cutting edge knowledge within my field. That's why I undertake monthly CPD and supervision sessions.
Can you explain the cause of my symptoms?
After perhaps years of not understanding what is causing your symptoms, I will provide the answers that are grounded in science and research. Having this knowledge combined with the process and methods I use will empower you to finally release your symptoms and get your life back.
Do you have tools to assess and review my progress?
I use both objective and subjective tools to assess and review your progress so you can see just how far you have come throughout the process. For example, I use validated measure to monitor your symptoms as you progress.
I personally had a 78.5% reduction in my symptoms in just 12 months, which is impressive considering that an improvement of just 14% is considered clinically significant!
Do you offer between appointment support?
Yes, I offer free email support to my clients between appointments, and additional phone calls are also included in my packages of care.
Also, as all my clients are also registered on The Chrysalis Effect Recovery Pathway they also have 24/7 wrap around support with the benefit of a positive recovery community.
What are your fees?
I have a clear up-front pricing structure and the opportunity to spread costs.
I offer a selection of comprehensive packages of care, each designed to ensure clients can select the one that will get the best results for them. You can find out what they are by going to the 'Coaching Packages' tab or via the 'Get in Touch' button below.
Can I book an FREE session to decide it this is right for me?
Yes, I offer a FREE, no obligation 30-minute 'Discovery Call & Health Profile Review' (see 'Coaching Packages'). During the call I explain what is causing your symptoms, how I work to support my clients, and answer any questions you may have.
Just click on the 'Get in Touch' button, or email me direct at hdunn@happierbyheather.com and grab yourself a space now. I look forward to connecting with you.
