Confidentiality & Data Protection

Everything shared in our sessions is treated with care and confidentiality. I consider discretion and trust to be fundamental ethical principles in my work.

Your personal information (e.g. contact details, notes, correspondence) will never be shared with third parties without your explicit written consent.

All data is stored securely and is never used for commercial purposes.
I do not use cloud services for session notes or records. Communication via email or messenger apps is at your own discretion and risk – encrypted options can be arranged upon request.

Responsibility of the Coach

As a peer coach, I offer presence, support, and structure based on lived experience, ongoing training, and trauma-informed practice.
My role is not to diagnose, treat, or give medical or psychological advice. I do not provide therapy or prescribe medication.

My work is resource-oriented, non-pathologising, and grounded in mutual respect. I commit to staying within the boundaries of my role and referring to appropriate professionals when needed.

Responsibility of the Client Between Sessions

Your well-being and safety are important.
While sessions can offer insight, relief, and direction, you remain responsible for how you apply what we explore together in your day-to-day life.

Between sessions, you are responsible for seeking emergency support if you feel unsafe or in crisis. I do not offer 24/7 support and cannot take on acute care situations. If you need urgent help, please reach out to a local crisis service, doctor, or emergency contact.

If you’re unsure about what kind of support you need, I’m happy to help you reflect and orient.

By choosing to work with me, you acknowledge that:

• You are responsible for your own decisions, actions, and well-being
• I do not provide medical or legal advice
• No guarantees of outcomes are made

I accept no liability for any damages, losses, or consequences resulting from the use or misuse of the content or conversations shared in the coaching context.
