 This Coaching agreement covers the process for online coaching.

Rules of the road -  

1.   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. 

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

3.   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 implement my choices is exclusively my responsibility. 

4.   I understand that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the Australian Healthcare Association.  I understand that coaching is not a substitute for counseling, 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. 

5.   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.

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

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

8.   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.
