I was referred to the Verve Health Trainer project as I really wanted support with my emotional wellbeing and stress levels. I now know how to set realistic goals and can identify when my behaviour is unhealthy. I have made more time for myself and as a result I feel better. I feel more in control, can see things clearer and I would really recommend this service to others.

I wanted to change my eating and exercise and stop staying in bed, so with my Health Trainer I set goals to get up earlier, eat more healthy and to achieve a Couch25k. This service has given me confidence to be my own Health Trainer, helped me feel better and improved my sense of wellbeing. I have achieved my personal health goals with the support of the Health Trainer and I have also made new friends. I couldn’t have had a better Health Trainer. Super friendly and made the Couch 2 5K easy. I also really enjoyed talking about life.
