Health coaches need to form a clear understanding of their clients’ existing lifestyle and the changes they would like to see in their lives.
- SurveyMonkey’s Health Coaching Questionnaire provides a series of questions to capture which areas clients would like to work on.
- The WDEP (Wants, Doing, Evaluation, and Planning) Questionnaire is particularly helpful for understanding what the client wants from health-related changes, what have they tried so far, and what they plan to do
- Use the Abstraction Worksheet to capture in detail the goal of health behavior change and the steps needed to get there.
