Abstract
Background/Aim: Cognitive-behavioural coaching as a type of psychological coaching is gaining attention in health psycholo-gy and mental health counseling. This review aimed at exploring its clinical utility for adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Method: To carry out this review, we searched for studies published on cognitive-behavioural coaching among adult patients with type 2 diabetes using Google Scholar and PubMed. Results: Result of this review shows that cognitive-behavioural coaching is a clinically relevant coaching approach for addressing the mental distress of adult patients with type 2 diabetes. In the studies reviewed, significant improvements in depression scores were reported among adult patients with type 2 diabetes exposed to cognitive-behavioural coaching. Conclusion: More robust randomized control trials are required to extend the clinical utility of cognitive-behavioural coaching among type 2 diabetic patients with psychological symptoms.
