Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP)


Claudine Methven

I am a Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) working alongside staff at Kaiapoi Medical Centre. I am available on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I provide a free and accessible 30-minute, brief intervention session. I can see people of all ages and stages of their lives and help with any type of issue related to mental wellbeing or behaviour change. A consult uses evidence-based brief interventions to help to develop pathways around mental wellbeing and any issue that may be impacting on a person's well-being. I provide advice and support by developing individualised plans and goals, promoting self-management and connecting people to other services they may need.

Out of work Claudine enjoys spending time with her family, gardening and skiing in winter.
