Harry has worked as a Behavioural Coach since he was 25, having spent his previous years as a classically trained Pastry Chef. Through accessing services at an early age, Harry has the opportunity to demonstrate that making sustained behavioural change and accessing the relevant support, allows for the opportunity to step fully into a fulfilling life, equipped with new tools to better navigate the challenges one experiences. Harry believes in a strength-based approach, helping client identify them and then implement them as transferable skills into new settings. Harry's aim as a coach is to provide the individual with the tools and framework to no longer need the support of a coach
When Harry completed his care under an NHS service, at the age of 21, Harry gained his first relevant experience as a part-time professional Peer Mentor in that same service, as well as on the interview panel, as an ex-service user. Meanwhile, Harry had been engaged in a therapeutic intervention at the age of 19, treatment experiences, and subsequently accessed community-based resources to reengineer his behaviours and quality of life. This marriage of professional and lived experience, informs the approach he takes, which is client-led, supporting the individuals through their stages of behavioural change, acting collaboratively with clients to help them define and then access their individualised resources, through practical steps. Harry aims to provide an empathetic, pragmatic, and informed space for the client, due to his lived experience, particularly through the care he received, and through independent research, and professional and academic training.
Working in the Coaching Department: Harry helps onboard individuals looking to explore coaching, supervises the ongoing cases to provide an assessment of value added and guide the behavioural coaches, and works as a point of contact if needed for the individual and those involved in the care, or lives of the individual.
