Trusted Return Well partner
Health & Wellbeing Coaching
Louise Blackwood
Health & Wellbeing Coach
Louise is a trusted Return Well partner offering optional coaching and support following a return-to-work or wellbeing assessment. Coaching is separate from Return Well's independent clinical assessments.
About Louise
Louise is an EMCC Global-accredited Health & Wellbeing Coach with professional experience across primary care, mental health and community-based services. That breadth has given her a strong understanding of how mental health, work and lifestyle affect one another.
Credentials and experience
- BSc in Psychology
- EMCC Global-accredited Health Coaching qualification
- Experience supporting people across GP practices, mental health hospitals, and police and criminal justice services
- A practical, person-centred, compassionate and behaviour-change focused approach
Rather than quick fixes, the aim is to help people develop practical strategies, greater self-awareness and the confidence to manage their wellbeing well in the long term.
Health & Wellbeing Coaching with Louise
Louise provides personalised health and wellbeing coaching, designed to help people make realistic and sustainable changes, both in and outside of work.
Drawing on a background in psychology and mental health, her approach is practical and person-centred. Coaching gives you a supportive space to talk through what's getting in the way, decide what matters most right now, and turn that into steps that feel achievable.
How coaching can help
Coaching is shaped around you. Common areas people work on include:
- Building healthier routines and habits
- Managing stress and preventing burnout
- Improving sleep, energy and overall wellbeing
- Rebuilding confidence when returning to work
- Setting realistic goals and creating personalised action plans
- Developing resilience and self-management
- Improving work-life balance
- Maintaining motivation and accountability
Ongoing support after an assessment
Where it's appropriate, Louise can provide ongoing coaching following a Return Well return-to-work or wellbeing assessment.
An assessment sets out what would help. Coaching is where those recommendations become practice, building confidence, strengthening healthy routines and keeping positive changes going over time, rather than letting them fade once the report is filed.
Coaching is optional additional support.
It is a separate service provided by Louise, not part of a Return Well assessment. Return Well's assessments are independent clinical assessments carried out by registered UK clinicians. Coaching does not replace one, and there is no obligation to take it up.
