THIS IS A COACHING RELATIONSHIP, NOT PSYCHOTHERAPY, COUNSELING, OR ANY FORM OF MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT. Coaching is a collaborative, forward-looking process focused on the Client's goals, choices and personal development. It is not a substitute for psychotherapy, counseling, psychiatric care, medical treatment, or any other licensed mental health service.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in clause 1, the Coach is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, social worker or other licensed mental health professional, and does not diagnose, treat, or claim to cure any mental health condition, mental illness, or psychological or emotional disorder. Nothing the Coach says or provides during a session is a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or medical or psychological advice.

If the Client is experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition, is in crisis, or is having thoughts of harming themself or others, the Client should immediately contact a licensed mental health professional, a physician, or emergency services, rather than relying on the Coach or on coaching sessions for that need. The Coach may, at the Coach's discretion, recommend that the Client seek support from a licensed mental health professional at any point during the engagement, and may decline to continue a session or this Agreement where the Coach reasonably believes the Client's needs fall outside the scope of coaching described in this clause.

The Coach shall keep confidential everything the Client shares during a session or otherwise in connection with the Services, and shall not disclose it to any third party without the Client's written consent, except as set out below. This obligation continues after this Agreement ends.

The Coach may disclose information the Client has shared where the Coach reasonably believes disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent harm to the Client or to another identifiable person, where disclosure is required by law, subpoena or court order, where the Coach seeks confidential supervision or consultation with another coaching professional bound by an equivalent duty of confidentiality, or where the Client has given written consent to a specific disclosure.

The Coach may use anonymized, non-identifying information about the coaching relationship for the Coach's own training, supervision or professional development, provided the Client cannot reasonably be identified from it.

Coaching is facilitative, not directive: the Coach helps the Client clarify goals, consider options and stay accountable, but does not instruct the Client what decision to make. The Client is solely responsible for the Client's own decisions, actions and their consequences, including any decision about career, relationships, health, finances or other personal matters that the Client makes during or after this engagement.

The Coach makes no guarantee, express or implied, that coaching will achieve any particular result, goal or outcome for the Client. The value the Client gets from coaching depends substantially on the Client's own engagement, honesty and follow-through between sessions, which are outside the Coach's control.

Either Party may end this Agreement by giving the other written notice. Either Party may end it immediately by written notice where the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and does not remedy the breach within of being asked to, and the Coach may end it immediately where the Client's conduct falls outside the scope described in clause 5 or where continuing would be unsafe or inappropriate for either Party.

On ending this Agreement, the Coach shall provide the Client with a refund of any fees already paid for sessions not yet delivered, calculated at , within of the effective date of ending. Ending this Agreement does not affect either Party's accrued rights or obligations, and clauses 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 survive it.

Neither Party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of income, profit or opportunity, arising out of this Agreement. Except as stated in the next paragraph, the Coach's total liability arising out of or in connection with this Agreement is limited to the total fees paid by the Client under it in the before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. The Coach is not responsible for decisions the Client makes, or for the acts or omissions of any third-party professional the Client is referred to or consults, including any mental health professional.
