Coaching Agreement Contract

The Coach agrees to provide Coaching Services for Client focusing on meaningful
change to a happier life.
Description of Coaching: Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business
partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that
inspires the client to maximize personal and professional potential. It 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. Together we create more power for you to effect
meaningful change and take dynamic actions towards your forward movement.
1) Coach-Client Relationship
A. Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and
emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the
coaching relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions with the Coach. As such, the
Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or
inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. Client
understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not
prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease. The Client understands that
coaching is not considered medical consultation or treatment, so health insurance does not
apply.
B. Client understands that personal change to uncover and release deeply rooted patterns of
behavior takes time. Coach and Client will be working on new ways of reacting, responding, and
perceiving life. This will be part of the coaching process to forge new paths of being. Client can
expect to feel a positive shift relatively soon, but understands that if serious about change, they
need to make a commitment to coaching.

Weekly sessions 1 - 3 months
Recommended if you are seriously struggling with a major life/work/emotional situation.

Sessions bi-weekly
Recommended for those just feeling generally stuck.

Monthly sessions
Recommended for those looking to continue the work they have started in the more frequent
sessions.

A session every few months
Recommended for those looking to touch base, connect, and maintain their momentum by
continuing to challenge themselves.

C. Client further acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the coaching
relationship at any time.

D. Client acknowledges that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different
areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation.
The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into
those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.
E. Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental
disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that coaching is not to be used
as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance
abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals
and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance
as needed. If Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is
recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and
extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.
F. The Client understands that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, the Client agrees to
communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to
participate fully in the program.
