the therapeutic relationship

The intention of the relationship is to foster healthier relational, mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health experiences, in resolving presented issues, and to help you create the life you want, and other personal goals, carry out a strategy/ plan/action for achieving those goals. 

  • Life coaching is comprehensive and may involve exploration into all areas of life, including work, finances, health, spiritual, relationships, education, and recreation. You acknowledge that deciding how to handle these issues and implement your choices is exclusively your responsibility.

  • You recognise that coaching is not psychotherapy, medical advice, or psychiatric care and that professional referrals will be given if needed.

  • You understand that life coaching does not treat mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association, and is not a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, or substance abuse treatment. You agree to not use it in place of any form of therapy. 

Responsibility and accountability
  • If you are under the care of a mental health professional, you agree to consult with this person regarding the advisability of working with a life coach and that this person is aware of your decision to proceed with the life coaching relationship.

  • You understand that counselling and life coaching are not to be used in lieu of professional advise. You agree to seek professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual, or other matters, and accept that all decisions and actions in these areas are exclusively yours responsibility.

PSYCH-K® Facilitation (ADJUNCT TO PSYCHOTHERAPY)
  • The PSYCH-K® process is strictly limited to changing Beliefs. Its purpose is to activate the natural self-healing processes of the mind/body in order to complement, not substitute, the usual, normal and common treatments and medical care practiced by qualified physicians. The PSYCH-K® process is not intended to deliver medical diagnoses. PSYCH-K® is also not intended to treat, heal or cure diseases, illnesses, physical disabilities, medical problems or psychological disorders in chronic or acute form. PSYCH-K® is in no way a substitute for appropriate medical care or professional therapy for mental problems. PSYCH-K® is not medical advice and should not be considered as such. PSYCH-K® Health and Wellbeing Facilitation does not create a doctor-patient relationship. You understand and agree that you are individually responsible for your own life and its unfolding. As an expression of your responsibility, you are seeking assistance with the beliefs that manifest your reality, but the actual manifestation of that reality is up to you.
