Services

Coaching may address specific personal life struggles, business issues, or general conditions in the client's life or profession. Other coaching services include values, thought storming, identifying action plans, examining modes of operation in life, asking clarifying questions, and making empowering requests or suggestions for action. Additionally, the client may be asked to reflect on difficult topics or situations which may result in an expression of emotions. Throughout the working relationship, the coach will engage in direct and personal conversations. The client understands that successful coaching requires a co-active collaborative approach between client and coach. In the coaching relationship, the coach plays the role of a facilitator of change, but it is the client's responsibility to enact or bring about the change by their own action. If the client believes the coaching is not working as desired, the client will communicate this with the coach as soon as possible and the coaching strategy will be restructured to address the client's desired outcome of coaching. The client understands thatnot all coaching methods and mediums all work for all clients and a course of trials may be required in order to find the best solutions. You are very much encouraged to talk more with the coachas to receive a better understanding of what coaching is about and how to get the most out of it.

In entering into the coaching relationship, and signing the agreement, you are agreeing that if any mental health difficulties arise during the course of the coaching relationship, you will notify me immediately so that I can discuss with you an appropriate referral plan of action.

Confidentiality

All information about the coach/client relationship will remain strictly confidential except in very rare circumstances where decreed by law; i.e. Where the court might issue an information request /subpoena for the file or information. If you wish for me as your coach to speak to someone outside our interactions, you need to give me written permission (original letter, fax or email) to do so. Exceptions to confidentiality of course relate to circumstances such as intent to seriously harm someone, child abuse, thoughts of suicide etc. Otherwise, all remaining information is kept strictly confidential. It is also important to note that in some situations, it is important to be aware of the use of technology in that for some clients, there is a risk in using certain media such as the internet, mobile phones and cordless phones. If you use these to communicate with me, then I will assume that it is appropriate to continue to do so in my interactions with you.
