Terms & Conditions
The number and frequency of coaching session will be agreed at the start of coaching, alternatively, if no specific number is agreed sessions will be provided on a session by session basis.
In return for the fees payable by the client (or by a third party on their behalf), I agree to provide the coaching service as described in accordance with the terms and conditions set out herein.
The date that the first coaching session takes place shall be deemed to be the start date for the service. Where any client is unhappy with any of the terms and conditions, they can contact eliza@adhdwithme to arrange to discuss any concerns and see if they can be resolved before the first coaching session. Participation by any individual in the first coaching session constitutes acceptance of these terms and conditions.
SESSION FEES
The fee per session is as set out on ADHDwithme.com website at time of booking for a 50-minute session, the 1 hr session slot includes a 10-minute buffer time. The fee is to be paid at time of booking unless, by special arrangement, it will be paid on the day of the session. Payment by credit card on the website is accepted.
Where payment has not been received in advance of a coaching session, the session cannot be considered as confirmed and I am not obliged to provide the session.
PUNCTUALITY
I understand that some of our clients find it hard to be punctual. However, our coaching sessions always run on time. Unfortunately, clients who arrive late will need to have shorter coaching sessions. I am always happy to provide clients with extra scaffolding in the form of additional reminders and prompts to help them deal with this challenge if it occurs.
PROCEDURE
The coaching schedule will be arranged between the Coach and the Client and can be booked up to 3 months in advance or as per plans offered on the website from time to time. I will recommend the frequency of coaching sessions based on a professional assessment of the client’s requirements. This recommendation, or plan, is not binding and may be altered and adjusted throughout the coaching journey by mutual agreement, in accordance with the terms set out in this agreement.
I primarily use Zoom meetings for coaching, unless otherwise agreed.
The Zoom invitation will be sent out at the time of website booking, please familiarise yourself with Zoom before our first session.
CHANGES
Should you need to reschedule your session, please give me at least 24 hours’ notice. If you have an emergency, I will work around it. Late cancellations and ‘no-shows’ will incur the full fee. There may be a time that I am forced to reschedule too, but I will let you know in good time.
BETWEEN SESSIONS
Activities, tasks and/or exercises may be provided to be completed between coaching sessions. There is no obligation on you to complete these items of ‘homework’, but not doing so may slow your progress in gaining the improvements identified as keys to meeting your goals.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Coaching sessions are strictly confidential. Unless I have the Client’s permission, I will not discuss our coaching with anyone, including partners, parents, family members or employers. Our client list is also confidential.
EARLY TERMINATION
In exceptional circumstances, such as illness or unavailability due to bereavement or other commitments, inappropriate behaviour by the Client, actual or potential conflict of interest, or other reasons, I may decide to terminate the service to the Client early or refuse or be unable to provide further coaching sessions to the Client. In such circumstances the Client will be given reasonable notice of termination where practicable and will be refunded any advance payments made for coaching sessions not yet provided.

In no event shall the Coach be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential or special damages.

SEVERABILITY
