Coaching Agreement
Please read through this agreement before our first coaching session.
Client/coach Relationship
I am not a licensed healthcare professional. I will not diagnose or recommend treatment. All the tools and therapeutic processes I offer are complementary to prescription medication or counselling by healthcare professionals. Always consult your prescribing doctor before altering medication.
I am a registered member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (member number #8503) and the Gottman Institute and I abide by their code of ethics. I am completing professional training in Psychotheraputic Counselling (graduating 2024) and am a student member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (member number NCS23-00348).
Confidentiality
Any personal details you disclose will be kept in strict confidentiality excepting some rare circumstances.
These rare circumstances are when failure to disclose the information would place another person at serious risk of harm. As an example, it is required to break confidentiality if I learnt that a client was planning a terrorist attack. In such exceptional circumstances, the therapist is obliged to act in a manner which will safeguard well-being/safety.
It is an ethical requirement for practising therapists to receive regular supervision. During supervision the content of client sessions is discussed though identity of clients is kept confidential. The supervisor is also bound by adherence to strict confidentiality requirements.
Storing Data
We take privacy seriously and will only use your personal information to administer the services you have requested from us. Your name and email address will be added to our monthly mailing list for updates and offers via email. We will never pass on your details to a third party. You can view my full privacy policy at naomilight.com
Sessions and Cancellation Policy
If I am late, you will still receive the full session time either by extending your appointment time or re-arranging to a time convenient for both of us. If you are late, the session will usually finish at the scheduled time which may result in a shorter session.
There are times when you might need to cancel an appointment at short notice. Cancellation less than 24 hours in advance or non-attendance without notice will be charged at the full rate, unless in exceptional circumstances (this will be decided on an individual basis).
Misunderstandings
Client/coach relationships are built on trust and honesty. A safe and supportive environment is essential for your growth. If you are unhappy or feel uncomfortable with anything that happens in the coaching sessions please talk to me.
