1) Coach-Client Relationship
A. Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International
Coach Federation “(ICF)” (Coachfederation.org/ethics). It is recommended that the Client review the ICF
Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behavior.
B. 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.
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

2) Confidentiality

the Coach as part of this relationship, is bound by the principles of confidentiality set forth in the ICF
Code of Ethics. However, please be aware that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally
confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions) and thus communications are not
subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege. The Coach agrees not to disclose any
information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s written consent. The Coach will not disclose
the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s consent.

its being furnished by the Client; (b) is generally known to the public or in the Client’s industry; (c) is
obtained by the Coach from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the Client; (d) is
independently developed by the Coach without use of or reference to the Client’s confidential
information; or (e) the Coach is required by statute, lawfully issued subpoena, or by court order to
disclose; (f) is disclosed to the Coach and as a result of such disclosure the Coach reasonably believes
there to be an imminent or likely risk of danger or harm to the Client or others; and (g) involves illegal
activity. The Client also acknowledges his or her continuing obligation to raise any confidentiality
questions or concerns with the Coach in a timely manner.
