Welcome to Your Coaching Journey!
Thank you for trusting in me in as a coach and yourself as a coachee. I feel excited and privileged to start working with you. We have an exciting journey ahead, whether this is a career transition, improving your leadership skills, achieving a specific goal or finding your passion and purpose. You determine the direction.
These terms set out the commitments that are required from both of us to make this process successful.

Our Coaching Relationship
Coaching is an ongoing relationship between a coach and a client. It provides a structure that facilitates the process of personal and professional development. We agree to create this special coaching relationship together.
Coaching is for individuals who are emotionally and psychologically healthy and want to make changes and move forward in their lives. It is not advice, mentoring, therapy or counselling.
By entering into this relationship, we both acknowledge that you want to make significant progress and change in your life. Because this happens at rates that are unique to each individual, we commit to working with each other for the entire block of sessions you have purchased from me. This will allow our coaching relationship the necessary time to develop and progress through objectives, obstacles and success.
You understand that:
- our coaching relationship is designed to facilitate the development of personal or professional goals and to develop a plan/strategy for achieving those goals;
- you are fully responsible for the decisions and choices reached during our coaching sessions; and
- coaching is not a substitute for counselling, mental health care or substance abuse treatment, nor for specialist advice (for example financial or legal advice).
My Commitment to You
I commit to support you on your journey with my utmost integrity and authenticity so that you can identify and achieve your goals through an open, honest, supportive and motivating coaching relationship.
Our relationship is built on trust. I will always do my utmost to work in your best interest and keep any information shared by you entirely confidential. I will listen to you with curiosity and the intention to learn from you so that I can serve you in the best way possible. I will do this in accordance with the Code of Ethics developed by the International Coaching Federation which you can read here: https://coachingfederation.org/ethics/code-of-ethic.
I will protect your personal data in accordance with my privacy policy which you can find at:
