Coaching Agreement

This Agreement is entered into between You/Client and Victoria M. Parham, Motivational Life Coach (VPMLC), whereby a Victoria Parham, MLC will provide Coaching Services to you focusing on non-clinical.

Description of The term Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not defined as a legal business partnership) between a coach and client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize their personal best and full potential. It is designed to facilitate the development of personal, professional or life goals and to develop and carry out a plan for achieving specific outcomes. Coaching as used here covers life coaching, personal coaching, executive coaching and business coaching for clients.

1) Coach-Client Relationship

Your Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coach Federation (“ICF”) found at coachfederation.org/ethics. You are encouraged to review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behavior.

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 coaching calls and interactions with your Coach. As such, you agree that your 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. You acknowledge that 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.

You further acknowledge that you may terminate or discontinue the coaching relationship at any time.
You acknowledge that coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of your life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. You agree that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas, and implementing choices is exclusively your responsibility.

You acknowledge 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 your exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If you are currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that you promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by you and your Coach.

You understand that in order to enhance the coaching relationship, you should communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the program.
