What to include in your brief

  • Adult participant and coaching goal

  • Professional boundaries and referral needs
  • Preferred session format, availability and anticipated coaching period

Choosing the right professional

Choose a coach who states their qualifications and non-clinical limits and explains when a different professional service is appropriate. Avoid a promised treatment or guaranteed sleep result.

Important considerations

  • The requested support may fall outside a coaching scope
  • A coaching programme does not establish a clinical diagnosis or treatment plan
