Professional Practice

On a business note and in the spirit of good practise, I want to ensure that you are familiar with our terms and conditions. At the point of purchasing coaching services from me I expect that you have read and agreed to each statement below and that you wish to proceed on this basis.

All coaching services and communication, email or otherwise, delivered by us, as well as information on this website (adhdwithme.com.au) is meant to assist you via a thought provoking and creative process to assist you to maximise your potential, experience greater well-being and move yourself forward. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan to reach those goals.

Coaching is not a substitute for therapy and/or professional mental health care or medical care. You are solely responsible for creating and implementing your own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and your 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 term ‘coaching’ as here used covers one-on-one ADHD coaching, family coaching and couples coaching for clients.

The Coaches will maintain the ethics and standards of behaviour established by the International Coach Federation (ICF). It is recommended that you review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behaviour.

I am continually striving to ensure the standard of service I provide remains excellent. At the end of the coaching process, or series of coaching sessions, you will be asked to complete a feedback form.

I understand that the coaching services I will be receiving from my Coach are not offered as a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care and are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any mental health or medical conditions. I also understand that my Coach is not acting as a mental health counsellor or a medical professional.

For legal purposes, I understand that coaching is currently an unregulated industry and that my Coach is not “licensed” by any Australian body even though the sessions may take place in Australia.

I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my well-being during my coaching sessions, and subsequently, including my choices and decisions.

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 therapy.

I understand that all comments and ideas offered by my Coach are solely for the purpose of aiding me in achieving the defined goals I create with my Coach. I am able to give my informed consent, and hereby give such consent to my coach to assist me in achieving such goals and understand that results are not guaranteed.

I understand that to the extent our work together involves family, education, career or business, my Coach is not promising outcomes included but not limited to increased personal success.

I understand that my Coach will protect my information as confidential unless I state otherwise in writing. If I report child, elder abuse or neglect or threaten to harm myself or someone else, I understand that necessary actions will be taken, and my confidentiality agreement limited in this capacity. Furthermore, if my Coach is ordered by a court to provide information or to testify, she will do so to the extent the law requires.

I understand that the use of technology is not always secure and accept the risks of confidentiality in the use of email, text, phone, Zoom and other technology.

I understand that I may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time.

I hereby release, waive, acquit and forever discharge my Coach, any agents, successors, assigns, personal representatives, executors, heirs and employees from every claim, suit action, demand or right to compensation for damages I may claim to have or that I may have arising out of acts or omissions by myself or by my Coach as a result of the advice given by my Coach or otherwise resulting from the coaching relationship contemplated by this agreement.

I further declare and represent that no promise, inducement or agreement not expressed in this agreement has been made to me to sign this agreement. This agreement shall bind my heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors, assigns, and agents.
