A simple approach, grounded in scientific evidence.
1. Existing evidence base
Inuka’s coaching method is grounded in problem solving therapy. Does a 7-step, practical approach sound (perhaps too) simple? This simplicity is probably the reason research shows this method works for so many problems & people:
- Effective for complaints such as depression, anxiety & sleep
- Studied in over 24 countries
- Similar effectiveness as CBT, with slightly longer-term effects
- Also used for physical challenges such as coping with diabetes, cancer and countering obesity/weight loss.Â
