Nature of Coaching

What is coaching

Life Transition Coaching is a non-clinical, collaborative process focused on self-awareness, personal growth, and navigating periods of change. Coaching may include reflective dialogue, exploration of values and patterns, mindfulness, and body awareness, with the intention of supporting clarity, insight, and intentional action.

Coaching is a collaborative process, and clients are responsible for their own decisions, actions, and outcomes. Coaching does not guarantee specific results.

Disclosure

Life in Transition Coaching is not psychotherapy and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Coaching focuses on self-reflection, awareness, and personal development rather than clinical assessment or treatment. This work is not a substitute for therapy, counseling, or medical care. If you are experiencing acute psychological distress or require mental health treatment, I encourage you to seek support from a licensed mental health professional.

Confidentiality

All information shared during coaching sessions is treated with respect and confidentiality, except where disclosure may be required by law or where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others.

Initial Consultation policy

To confirm your first coaching session, full payment is required in advance. Please note that payment for the initial intake session is non-refundable in the event of cancellation. Once payment is received, you will be provided with the link and details for your online session. The intake session is an opportunity for us to explore your current situation, clarify your goals, and determine whether coaching is the right fit for your needs.

Payment policy

Payment is required before each scheduled coaching session. If payment is pending, future sessions will be placed on hold until the balance is cleared. Once a session has taken place at the scheduled time, it is considered completed. Payments for completed sessions are non-refundable.

Cancellation policy

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. If you need to reschedule or cancel your coaching session, please do so at least 24 hours before our scheduled time. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will result in a late cancellation fee of $40.

I understand that unexpected situations can arise. In certain circumstances, the late cancellation fee may be waived at my discretion.

No-Show policy

If you miss your scheduled session without prior notice, the full session fee will be charged as a no-show fee.

Late Arrival policy

If you arrive late for your scheduled session, the session will still end at the originally scheduled time in order to respect both our time commitments. The full session fee will still apply.

Communication between sessions

Email or text communication between sessions may be used for scheduling or brief check-ins. Coaching support outside scheduled sessions is not included unless otherwise agreed upon.
