Purpose of Agreement:

The purpose of this agreement is to establish a clear understanding of the trauma-informed coaching relationship between Beth Woessner (coach) and ___________________, as well as to set expectations for the coaching sessions.

Terms and Conditions:

1. Scope of Work

Trauma-informed coaching is a holistic approach that recognizes the potential impact of past traumas on a client’s current life experiences and well-being. This approach focuses on the client’s overall well-being, including physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental health goals, rather than on the trauma itself.

What Trauma-Informed Coaching Is Not:

Trauma-informed coaching is not therapy and is not intended to replace therapy or other professional support. The coach is not a therapist and will not diagnose or treat specific mental health conditions.

In a trauma-informed coaching relationship, the client and coach will collaboratively identify and set specific, measurable, and achievable goals. The coach will support the client in developing a plan of action to work toward these goals.

2. Confidentiality

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the coaching relationship. All information shared during coaching sessions will remain secure and confidential. The coach will not disclose any information to others without the client’s written consent, except in situations where there is a legal obligation to report (e.g., instances of harm to self or others) or a concern for the safety of the client or others.
