COACHING IS NOT A FORM OF THERAPY unless otherwise stated by your state/province although coaching may be used in conjunction with therapy.
Coaching is not counseling, or consulting, nor is it a substitute or replacement for any medical, psychological, legal, or financial services.
Coaching is a collaborative process focused on personal and professional growth.
While coaching aims to facilitate personal and professional growth, no specific outcomes are guaranteed. Results depend on individual effort, commitment, and external circumstances beyond the coach’s control.
For transparency, I, (Brenda Rockward) a.k.a. Coach Brenda of Brenda Rockward Coaching LLC is a certified life coach, not a doctor and thus not able to give medical (mental or physical) advice from a medical standpoint.
BRENDA ROCKWARD COACHING LLC company preference currently involves online sessions only for all coaching services.

Parents must sign a disclosure agreement acknowledging this family coaching arrangement and that minors are Client participants of the sessions, or individual Client participants of the session (no parent present). The same rules apply to an organization that provides professional services to minors that must include a signed parental disclosure agreement or a signed legal guardian disclosure agreement given to BRENDA ROCKWARD COACHING LLC to provide services to any child or children under the age of 18 years.
If a potential Client decides to move forward and become a paying Client after the Free initial consultation, the Client pays for their chosen session(s).

CONFIDENTIALITY
This coaching relationship, as well as all information (recorded, verbal and or documented) that the Client shares with the Coach as part of this relationship, is bound by the principles of confidentiality set forth in the ICF Code of Ethics. However, please be aware that the Coach-Client relationship is not considered a legally confidential relationship (like the medical and legal professions) and thus communications are not subject to the protection of any legally recognized privilege. The Coach agrees not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s signed consent. The Coach will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s signed consent.
RECORDED SESSIONS
Recorded coaching sessions is a requirement to better serve my Clients and for my professional development as a Coach. The recorded sessions are not shared with Clients. Having a session without recording is where the moment of what was said has gone and cannot be recovered from either Client or Coach. Recording sessions capture the moment, adds value and validity. The exception here is if the Client requests not to be recorded. In lieu of recording in this case, handwritten notes will be taken by the Coach during each session and will not be shared with the Client. It is highly encouraged that the Client take handwritten notes as well.
All coaching sessions, including the Free initial consultation, are handled online using Zoom as the live communication interface.
ICF CREDENTIALING
For later professional development, I [Coach Brenda] plan to obtain credentialing certification with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for which one unedited audio recording with a transcript of the session is required for part of the ACC credentialing process as each number of required recordings is different for the level of credentialing a coach is seeking to acquire. Clients will always be asked for their signed consent for this specific development.
NATURE OF THE RELATIONSHIP
BRENDA ROCKWARD COACHING LLC does not accept any form of insurance from Clients covering coaching sessions as the fees required are out-of-pocket expenses for each client.
The Client acknowledges and understands that BRENDA ROCKWARD COACHING LLC terms serve as a non-inclusive agreement as there may be documents and other requirements that the Coach will ask of all Clienteles.
Client understands that “Free Consultation” is not part of the scheduled sessions as the proposed Client is not a Client at this point. Once the Client has paid for services, he or she develops “Client” status and any in-between session emailing’s to the Coach to ask questions or if the Client has a concern is not part of the scheduled sessions [UNLESS STATED ELSEWHERE or OTHERWISE] and does not add on or reduce any time related to scheduled sessions.
Client’s face(s) must be visible during the free consultation and during all online coaching sessions for security purposes to be sure you are who you say you are. If you decide to move forward with sessions an official government photo ID ) is a mandatory required attachment to send back with the Welcome Packet for legal proof as well as Client and Company safety practices. Photo ID’s are required from every person signed up for online coaching sessions.
The Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship to include his/her online coaching, calls and interactions with the Coach. Client understands that the Coach does not control the direction of the Client’s life. The Client understands that through coaching sessions the Client and Coach will be dealing with the Clients present situation and future, but NOT delving into the past in a therapeutic manner.
As a member of the International Coaching Federation “(ICF)” and at some point, pursuing certification credentialing from this organization please note that the Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coaching Federation “(ICF).” It is recommended that the Client review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behavior at www.coachingfederation.org/ethics.
Furthermore, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. Client clearly understands that coaching is not counseling, therapy or advice such as legal, financial, medical, psychological, psychiatric or otherwise and does not substitute for therapy of any kind, nor mental health care or substance abuse, and does not prevent, cure, treat, or diagnose any mental disorder or medical disease. Clients will need to get an expert for help in these areas.
If a proposed Client has any history of mental health disorders, disease or substance abuse and would like to have coaching services, the proposed Client fully understands that the Coach has the right to deny services if the proposed Client denies or refuses to provide a signed letter from his or her mental health care provider indicating that he or she (proposed Client) would benefit from coaching services as a paying Client and identifying which chosen coaching service entity in the letter. An approved signed letter directly from the Client’s mental health care provider must be presented to the Coach before any coaching services are accepted and will be legally validated once they are presented.
Specifically for the Health & Wellness Coaching service option, any health-style changes or health style regimen plans the Client creates during this coaching service is advised not to carry out his or her plans until first notifying their physician and obtaining physician approval. BRENDA ROCKWARD COACHING LLC requests that a letter of approval from the physician on the physician’s letterhead with contact information for future Client reference be sent to BRENDA ROCKWARD COACHING LLC for our records.
Survey Request
At the end of all coaching sessions, whether it’s individuals, couples, family, businesses, educational institutions, or other organizations, Clients will be asked to fill out a survey to help the Coach develop and execute more ways to better serve Clients.
Termination Clause

In the event of do harm to the Coach from the Client or the Client is found to possibly do harm to themselves, the Coach has full authority to terminate the Coach and Client relationship without any recourse or refunds due to the Client, and the necessary authorities will be contacted. Furthermore, and not affiliated with (event of due harm clause) the Coach may provide a letter of referral (but is not obligated to do so) to the Client if the Coach and Client relationship is not working out and the Client would be best coached elsewhere.
