Do you have a specific habit/behaviour that you are wanting to increase or decrease?
Do you find it difficult to alter unhealthy habits increase healthy habits on your own?
As a coach who is also a Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), I aim to use my expertise to help individuals to increase, improve and modify health related behaviours and to decrease unhealthy behaviours, in order to reinforce a healthier way of living.
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is the application of the science of human behaviour – why we behave the way we do.
By understanding the science behind why behaviour occurs, this allows us to understand how we can change it for the better – this is the job of a behaviour analyst.
For some, healthy changes to behaviour can be made with simple life style modifications, but for others, habits are a lot harder to break, which could be causing damage to overall health (e.g. obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, increased sugar intake).
An example of the health-related behaviour I work on modifying with clients include:
- Desensitisation to new foods (e.g. fruit and vegetables)
- Increasing the consumption of healthy food choices (e.g. fruit and vegetables, protein.
- Quitting smoking
- Reducing consumption of alcohol/fizzy drinks/coffee
- Reducing consumption of higher calorie foods (in replacement for lower calorie foods)
- Increasing daily physical activity (steps, exercise, sports)
- Reducing snacking or mindless eating (habit reversal)
- Increasing adherence to medical regimes (e.g. increasing BG checking)
(The maintenance of these behaviours is also taken into account)
