Coaching does not diagnose, treat, or manage mental health conditions.

If it becomes clear that a client would benefit from therapeutic, medical, or specialist support, the coach may recommend seeking appropriate professional help.

Clients remain responsible for seeking any such support where needed.

Confidentiality

Coaching conversations are treated as confidential.
