theMakings Coaching Agreement

1. As a client, I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my physical, mental and emotional well- being during my coaching sessions, including my choices and decisions.
2. I understand that “coaching” is a Professional-Client relationship I have with my coach that is designed     to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to  develop  and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.
3. I understand that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of my life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. I acknowledge that deciding  how  to handle these issues, incorporate coaching into those areas, and implement my choices is exclusively my responsibility.
4. I understand that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders. I understand that coaching is not a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment and I will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment or therapy.
5. I promise that if I am currently in therapy or otherwise under the care of a mental health professional, that   I have consulted them regarding the advisability of working with a coach and that this person is aware of my decision to proceed with the coaching relationship.
6. I understand that information shared will be held as confidential unless I state otherwise, in writing, except as required by law.
   
7. I may cancel or reschedule a session with up to 24 hours notice. Any cancellation within 24 hours of the session, the session will be forfeited. 
8. If  I am over 5 mins late, my coach will leave the session and the session is deemed to have taken place.
9. I understand that certain topics may be anonymously and hypothetically shared with other coaching professionals for training or consultation purposes.
10. I am aware that I can choose to discontinue coaching at any time, following consultation and agreement with my employer.
11. I understand that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other qualified professionals. If necessary I will seek independent professional guidance for these matters and I understand that all my decisions and my actions in these areas are my sole responsibility.
