COACHING DISCLAIMER.
Last updated: [DATE]
Template only — review for your jurisdiction. This is a starting point, not legal advice. Have a qualified professional in [COUNTRY / JURISDICTION] review and adapt this document before publishing.
This Coaching Disclaimer explains the nature of the coaching provided by [COACH NAME] through [BUSINESS NAME]. It is governed by the laws of [COUNTRY / JURISDICTION].
1. Coaching is not therapy, counselling or medical advice
Coaching is a forward-focused, goal-oriented service. It is not therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, mental-health treatment or medical advice.
A coach does not diagnose, treat or cure any physical, mental or emotional condition. If you are experiencing a mental-health concern or are in crisis, please contact a qualified mental-health professional or your local emergency services.
2. The role of the coach
As your Licensed I AM Coach, [COACH NAME] helps you reflect, gain clarity, make decisions and take meaningful action. Coaching is a partnership — your results depend on your own effort, honesty and follow-through. The coach guides the process; you remain responsible for your choices and your life.
3. The I AM Programs
The I AM Coaching Programs are structured personal-development journeys. They are educational and reflective in nature, not clinical or therapeutic. They do not replace professional advice for medical, psychological, financial or legal matters.
4. When to seek other support
Coaching may not be appropriate if you are in crisis, at risk of harm, or in need of clinical care. If coaching is not the right fit, [COACH NAME] will do their best to point you toward an appropriate professional.
5. Confidentiality
What you share in coaching is kept confidential, except where disclosure is required by law or where there is a risk of harm to you or others. See our Privacy Policy for how your information is handled.
6. No guarantee of results
Coaching outcomes vary. We do not guarantee specific results. Progress depends on your personal circumstances, engagement and the actions you choose to take.
7. Assumption of risk
By engaging in coaching, you acknowledge that you are participating voluntarily and accept responsibility for your own wellbeing and decisions throughout the process.
