The Coach - Client Relationship
Welcome to a space designed for your growth, clarity, and empowerment. In our coaching relationship, every aspect is built around you, your goals, your values, and your unique journey. Here’s what you can expect from our work together, grounded in a person-centred, trauma-informed approach.
Expectations from Your Coach
As your coach, my role is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you can explore openly and authentically. I bring a person-centered and trauma-informed approach to our sessions, meaning I’m here to listen deeply, adapt to your needs, and support you with empathy and respect. Your goals and values are always at the forefront of our work, shaping the direction we take together. You’ll have a secure space to discuss sensitive topics, process insights, and uncover new pathways without fear of judgment.
What You Want from Your Coach
Our relationship is guided by your preferences, goals, and needs. I encourage you to share openly what you need to feel fully supported and empowered. Whether you need specific guidance, structured support, or simply a compassionate space to unpack your thoughts, our sessions will adapt to meet those requirements. Your feedback is not only welcome but essential, as it allows me to adjust our approach to suit what best supports you on your journey.
Openness and Honesty
Open, transparent communication is the foundation of a strong coaching relationship. To get the most out of our time together, I encourage you to be candid about what’s working, what isn’t, and any adjustments you’d like to make. I will also communicate openly, offering insights, observations, and, when needed, the “tough questions” that can inspire breakthroughs. This honesty is key to creating a productive, impactful coaching experience.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is a core pillar of our coaching relationship. All conversations, insights, and notes are held in strict confidence. Your privacy is paramount, and information will only be shared with others if you provide explicit permission or if there is a legal requirement to do so. This commitment allows us to build trust, ensuring that you have a truly safe space for exploration.
Equality in Partnership
Our work together is a partnership based on mutual respect and equality. We each bring valuable expertise, yours in your life and experiences, and mine in coaching. This collaborative approach ensures that your voice, perspective, and insights are central to every session. You have as much say in shaping our sessions as I do, making this an empowering and balanced relationship.
Client-Led Agenda
Every session is guided by you. You set the agenda based on what feels most pressing, meaningful, or helpful in the moment. If you're not sure where to start, I can guide you toward areas that align with your overarching goals. This client-led approach ensures that our work stays relevant and impactful, addressing what matters most to you at each step.
Responsibility and Accountability
Achieving meaningful results is a shared responsibility. I am here to support, guide, and challenge you when needed, but taking action ultimately lies in your hands. We will create actionable steps together, and I’ll provide accountability, encouragement, and structure to help you stay on track. Your commitment to taking action is the key to experiencing tangible progress.
By entering into this coaching relationship, you are choosing to invest in yourself, taking steps to create the changes and growth you desire. This partnership is about you and for you, centered on your unique goals and values. Together, we’ll work toward the clarity, insight, and empowerment you seek, knowing that you’re supported every step of the way.
