This booking of a coaching session constitutes an understanding and agreement between the coach and the individual booking the session

​

1. I acknowledge that the coach has fully disclosed to me that she is working toward International Coach Certification, and I have agreed to work with the coach with the primary aim of reaching my own desired goals and objectives through the coaching process.

2. As a client, I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my physical, mental and emotional well-being during my coaching calls, including my choices and decisions. I am aware that I can choose to discontinue coaching at any time.

3. I understand that “coaching” is a professional client-centered relationship I have with my coach designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

4. I understand that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of my life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education, and recreation. I acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching into those areas, and implementing my choices is exclusively my responsibility.

5. I understand that coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental disorders as defined by the Indian Psychiatric Society. I know that coaching is not a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, or substance abuse treatment, and I will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment, or therapy.

6. I promise that if I am currently in therapy or otherwise under the care of a mental health professional, that I have consulted with the mental health care provider regarding the advisability of working with a coach and that this person is aware of my decision to proceed with the coaching relationship.

7. I understand that information will be held as confidential unless I state otherwise, in writing, except as required by law.

8. I understand that certain topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training OR consultation purposes.

9. I understand that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual, or other qualified professionals. I will seek independent professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other matters. I understand that all decisions in these areas are exclusively mine, and I acknowledge that my decisions and my actions regarding them are my sole responsibility.
