important information about our coaching
We believe clients should have a clear understanding of what coaching is - and what it is not. The following information is designed to support informed decision-making and set appropriate expectations from the outset.
Coaching is Not Therapy or Mental Health Treatment
Coaching focuses on reflection, clarity, and professional development. It does not diagnose, treat or address mental health conditions. Clients who feel they may need therapeutic support are encouraged to seek assistance from a licensed mental health professional.
Coaching is Not Legal Advice
Although many clients are lawyers, our services are centered on professional development, workplace clarity, and decision-making support. We do not provide legal advice, and our services do not create an attorney-client relationship. Clients should continue to rely on practicing lawyers for legal guidance.
Coaching Does Not Guaranteed Specific Outcomes
Coaching can be valuable for gaining perspective, organising thinking, and planning next steps. However, results vary and coaching many not be suitable for everyone.
