| description | Informal cancer carers experience lower wellbeing than the general population. An evidence base demonstrates wellbeing impacts of coaching, yet few cancer carer interventions use coaching. This study delivered a 4-session coaching intervention with 11 cancer carers, using post-intervention interviews to ascertain the impact of coaching on carers’ wellbeing. The study argues that non-directive coaching improves carer wellbeing by building a ‘safe space’ for carers to be heard, rather than emphasizing goal-setting or prescribing wellbeing topics. This research demonstrates the value of coaching in supporting cancer carers’ wellbeing, highlighting how coaching reduces negative-self talk and scaffolds carers’ permission to prioritize themselves. |
