For Physicians – Health & Medical Coaching: Supporting Your Patients
A serious or chronic illness often presents people with challenges that extend beyond the medical care provided by physicians and hospitals.
Health & Medical Coaching complements medical and therapeutic care. It supports patients in managing the emotional and everyday impact of illness, strengthening health literacy and self-efficacy, and integrating health-related changes into their lives in a sustainable way.
-
Continuity through a dedicated point of contact – from acute hospital care and rehabilitation through outpatient care to the return to everyday life and work.
-
Promoting adherence and supporting the implementation of medical recommendations.
-
Guidance in managing anxiety, uncertainty, and emotional distress.
-
Support in dealing with ongoing stress, exhaustion, and burnout.
-
Facilitating communication with healthcare professionals and the patient’s personal support network.
-
Contributing to a positive patient experience through individual and continuous support.
Collaboration with Physicians

Health & Medical Coaching can be used across medical specialties and care settings as a complement to medical and therapeutic treatment.
-
Patients can be informed about Health & Medical Coaching as an additional form of support and can contact me directly if they are interested.

Medical diagnosis and treatment remain the responsibility of physicians and other healthcare professionals. Coaching does not replace medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.

All coaching content is confidential. Communication with treating physicians takes place only with the client’s consent.
