Coaching is a future-focused process designed to help you gain clarity, overcome obstacles, make decisions, and move forward towards the life you want to create.

While we may sometimes touch on past experiences, the primary focus of coaching is on where you are now, where you would like to be, and how you can move forward.

Coaching is not therapy, counselling, psychiatric treatment, or crisis intervention. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

My role is to provide support, challenge, perspective, and a space for honest reflection. Your role is to engage with the process and decide what actions feel right for you.

Coaching is best suited to people who feel ready for some form of change, growth, or forward movement in their lives.

You do not need to have all the answers. You do not need a perfect plan.

What you do need is a willingness to explore new perspectives, reflect honestly, and consider what might be possible.

Part of the purpose of the discovery call is to explore whether coaching feels like the right fit for us both. If I believe coaching is unlikely to be helpful or appropriate for your circumstances, I may recommend alternative support or decline to work together.

This is never about judgement. It is about ensuring you receive the support that best meets your needs.

Come About Coaching is not a crisis service.

If you are experiencing severe emotional distress, thoughts of suicide, self-harm, significant mental health difficulties, or feel unable to keep yourself safe, coaching is unlikely to be the most appropriate support at that time.

My coaching approach is designed for people who feel ready to focus on moving forward, even if they are not yet sure what that looks like.

If I become concerned that you require specialist support, I may pause or discontinue coaching and encourage you to seek support from appropriate healthcare or mental health services.

Yes.

Everything discussed during coaching sessions will be treated with respect and confidentiality.

The only exceptions would be situations where there is a serious concern about your safety, the safety of another person, or where disclosure is required by law.

Wherever possible, I would always aim to discuss any concerns with you before taking further action.

Your wellbeing matters.

Although coaching is different from therapy, I take safety, wellbeing, and safeguarding seriously.

If concerns arise regarding significant risk of harm to yourself or another person, I reserve the right to take appropriate action in order to protect wellbeing and safety. This may involve contacting relevant services or professionals where necessary.

Any action would only ever be considered where there is a genuine concern for safety and wellbeing.

My priority will always be to act responsibly, ethically, and in the best interests of those involved.

My responsibility is to provide a supportive, respectful, and professional space where you can explore challenges, gain clarity, and move forward.

Your responsibility is to engage honestly with the process, make decisions that feel right for you, and take responsibility for any actions you choose to take following our sessions.

While coaching can create powerful insight and meaningful change, I cannot guarantee specific outcomes. Ultimately, lasting change comes from the choices and actions taken outside of our coaching conversations.
