Coach training with Lumi Psychology

Building a psychologically-informed future
for health & fitness coaching

Coaches are often supporting people through challenges relating to food, body image, motivation, wellbeing and mental health, yet psychology is rarely a core part of traditional training, especially in the fitness industry

Lumi exists to change that. We deliver practical, evidence-based psychology education and supervision to help coaches and teams better understand psychology and mental health so they can support their clients with greater confidence, compassion and skill.

Alongside this, Lumi operates a specialist psychology clinic focused on supporting people with food, body image and weight-related issues. Through training coaches to become more psychologically-informed, we are building a trusted referral network. This enables us to deliver a more joined-up approach to for clients who may benefit from coaching or training alongside, or beyond, therapy.

Dr Claire Hamlet

Founder, Psychologist & Lead Trainer

I'm passionate about making evidence-based psychology more accessible outside of the therapy room.

As someone with a long-standing interest in health and fitness, I've seen and heard first-hand how coaches are supporting people through complex challenges relating to food, body image, wellbeing, life events and their mental health, despite receiving little training in these areas.

My mission is to help build a more psychologically informed health and fitness industry. Through Lumi, I make psychology practical, accessible and relevant to everyday coaching, drawing on psychologists and other experts where appropriate. Because when coaches understand people, not just programmes, everybody benefits.

I'd love Lumi to be shaped by the people it serves. If there's a topic you'd like to learn more about, you're interested in collaborating, or you're a mental health professional who shares this vision, I'd love to hear from you (lumipsychologyuk@gmail.com) or find me on Instagram.
