Exploring the Future of Wellbeing Coaching
Over the past four years, we have delivered weekly trauma-informed wellbeing coaching sessions and seen first-hand the changes people describe in their everyday lives. Client feedback and evaluations have shown positive experiences and outcomes, but they have also raised an important question:
How can we better understand and measure the impact of wellbeing coaching?
Our wellbeing can affect many areas of our lives—from how we feel physically and emotionally to how we manage relationships, work, stress and change. Yet too often, we only begin thinking about our wellbeing when something has already gone wrong or we reach a point of crisis.
Through our Research & Innovation work, Taylor Wellbeing is exploring a different possibility.
What if we took a more proactive approach to our wellbeing?
Why Wellbeing, Why Now?
We all have mental health, and wellbeing is how we care for it.
What Are We Exploring?
Taylor Wellbeing is developing a research initiative exploring how culturally responsive, trauma-informed wellbeing coaching may support the mental and emotional wellbeing of people from Black and Global Majority communities, including creatives working in high-pressure environments.
We are particularly interested in understanding whether personalised, short-term wellbeing coaching can support greater self-awareness, confidence and sustainable wellbeing practices—and what makes that support meaningful and accessible to different communities.
Building the Evidence
Our Research and Innovation work will bring together practice-based learning, participant experiences, evaluation and collaboration to explore both the outcomes of wellbeing coaching and the factors that make it meaningful and accessible for different people.
Alongside individual coaching, we are interested in the role of peer support and community connection. Participants will be encouraged to connect, share experiences and support one another through peer support groups, events and appropriate online communities, including social media platforms.
This may include spaces such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram, alongside opportunities to connect through events and activities promoted through platforms such as Eventbrite.
The aim is not to assume that one approach works for everyone, but to learn from participants' experiences and explore how personalised coaching, peer connection and community support can contribute to more inclusive and culturally responsive approaches to wellbeing.
