Frequently Asked Questions

The client's verbal communication and coaching records are strictly confidential except for: 1. Information reported to me about physical or sexual abuse. I am a mandated reporter for youth under 18 and am obligated to report this to Social and Health Services in the state where the client resides. 2. When a release form is signed to release information shared with a physician or therapist. 3. When the client provides information that informs me that they are in danger of harming themselves or others. If the client is a minor, a summary of coaching sessions sharing overview content is available to parents/guardians in order to keep parents/guardians apprised of coaching progress. For example, an email “recap” will be sent to the parent/guardians with a cc to the minor client for transparency. The content will include an overview of coaching topics (such as personality strengths, self-concept, self-awareness, learning style, structuring tools for success etc). Detailed information of client communications to the coach through the coaching relationship is held in confidence unless it meets any of the three exceptions noted above.
