Mental Health Coaching

Mental health is a key component of overall health and wellbeing

Mental health coaching can help people develop skills to help clients overcome obstacles they may be facing, while providing alternative perspectives to enable clients to reframe thinking patterns, better manage emotions, and address problems more effectively.

Getting help to move out of a poor mental health state is a gift to yourself, your relationships and can dramatically improve your life satisfaction.

Emotional intelligence moderates the relationship between mental health and job performance (i.e., job dedication as one dimension of contextual performance). In other words, there is a positive relationship between mental health and job dedication when emotional intelligence is high, but not low.
