  • Coaching contract - when we agree to enter a coaching relationship it is very important that all parties are aware of what is agreed, what are the boundaries, what we do about cancellations and emergencies, when I might suggest you see another professional, and so on. Contract details may vary according to the type of engagement and I will clarify this all with you  before we start.
