Your
commitment: In order for you to get the best ongoing results from
coaching, we discuss the best number of sessions for you. Typically clients
book an initial term of four sessions, ideally arranged at regular intervals.
Additional sessions can be agreed after this term, either by way of a series or
as individual sessions.
Your
session length: Your (first) session will usually last for approximately 1hr 30
minutes. Your subsequent sessions will be for approximately 1hour. Sessions of
longer / shorter duration can be arranged by request.
Your
concerns: If you ever say or do anything during a session that you don't
feel comfortable with, or if you have any concern at all with the way we are
working, please let me know as soon as possible. For our work together to be
effective it's important that you are completely honest, open, and at ease.
Your
confidential information: I acknowledge that anything you share with
me is completely confidential. I undertake not to disclose any information you
share with me in any session in any way whatsoever (unless in the unlikely
event I am required to do so by law).
What
coaching isn't: You understand and agree that the coaching is in no way to be
construed as psychological counselling or therapy. (It may nevertheless bring
about related benefits.)
Your
coaching, your results: Your results are dependent on your actions.
You enter coaching with the full understanding that you are wholly responsible
for creating your own results.
Any
booking for a coaching session, or series of sessions, made by you with us
following your receipt of these terms and conditions will be deemed your
acceptance of these terms and conditions.
