All coaching services and communication email or otherwise, delivered by the #ActuallyAutistic Coach as well as information on this website theautisticcoach.com are meant to help you identify the areas in your life and in your thinking that may be standing in your way. However, coaching is not professional mental health care or medical care. Coaching may augment your therapy or psychiatric care, but the work of coaching is meant to be goal oriented, and not to combat past trauma and heal major emotional and psychological wounds.
In that spirit, by engaging in coaching services from your Coach, you confirm that you have read and agreed to each statement and that you wish to proceed:
I understand that the coaching services I will be receiving from my Coach are not offered as a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care and are not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any mental health or medical conditions. I also understand that my Coach is not acting as a mental health counsellor or a medical professional.
I understand that coaching is, at present, an unregulated industry and that my Coach is not licensed by any internationally recognized regulator. I also understand that for all legal purposes, the services provided by my Coach will be considered to be provided from any remote location worldwide or otherwise in the French Republic.
I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my well-being during my coaching sessions, and subsequently, including my choices and decisions.
I understand that coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment, and I will not use it in place of any form of therapy.
I understand that all comments and ideas offered by my Coach are solely for the purpose of aiding me in achieving my defined goals. I have the ability to give my informed consent, and hereby give such consent to my coach to assist me in achieving such goals and aims.
I understand that to the extent our work together involves career or business, my Coach is not promising outcomes included but not limited to increased clientele, profitability and or business success.

To this extent, I have provided an emergency contact who can be contacted in this case, though Coach reserves the right to contact the competent authorities as well should it be deemed necessary. Furthermore, if my Coach is ordered by a court to provide information or to testify, they will do so to the extent of that the law requires.
I understand that the use of technology is not always secure and I accept the risks of confidentiality in the use of email, text, phone, WhatsApp, Zoom, Otter, and other technology and applications used by the Coach.
