Relationship coaching — Coach — Professionals
Relationship coaches must assess the participation arrangement and non-clinical scope before accepting joint sessions. Clarify consent, confidentiality and referral boundaries rather than treating one person's account as authority to coach another person.
Service scope
Non-clinical coaching on self-chosen communication or relationship goals, with careful agreement on participants, confidentiality and suitability. It is not couples therapy, mediation of legal disputes or a guarantee that a relationship will continue.
What is normally included
- Clarifying relationship goals
- Reflective communication coaching
- Agreed participant-led action review
What is not included
- Therapy or diagnosis
- Managing abuse or immediate danger through coaching
- Legal mediation automatically included
Qualification checks
- Confirm willing participants
- Identify individual and shared aims
- Explain confidentiality boundaries
- Assess suitability for coaching
- Agree safe communication and exit arrangements
Quote guidance
Specify participant count, session format and whether individual meetings are included. Fees should reflect the agreed service rather than promised reconciliation, and any additional specialist referral remains separate.
Lead risks
- One participant may not have agreed to attend
- A legal dispute may be hidden in the enquiry
- A client may expect the coach to take sides
