CLARITY AROUND ROLES, RESPONSIBILITY, AND TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT

TL:DR - Our work is confidential, I am not your therapist, you have to do the work, we are in this together.

Below are the terms and conditions that govern our interaction. As a professional coach I abide by a set of ethics outlined below. Please take a few minutes to read though the detail and should you have any questions, please let me know.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES OF THE COACH TOWARDS THE CLIENT

  1. Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coach Federation “(ICF)” (Coachfederation.org/ethics). It is recommended that the Client review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behavior

RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES OF THE CLIENT TOWARDS THE COACH

  1. Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility

  2. Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed.

  3. The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.

SERVICES

Sessions will consist of virtual meetings held on a regular cadence at a frequency mutually agreed by Coach and Client. These sessions may be conducted as part of a cohort of clients with similar intended outcomes, or on an individual basis.

It is recommended that the Client reserve an additional 30 minutes following the session for reflection and time, and should be prepared to reserve up to a maximum of three hours following any given session for additional work and reflection.
