Seen & Held™ Coaching Agreement
This Coaching Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Seen & Held™, LLC ("Coach," "we," or "us") and the individual booking services ("Client," "you"). This Agreement is designed to be clear, humane, and respectful of both parties, and to establish shared understanding before engaging in paid coaching services.
1. Nature of Coaching
Coaching is a collaborative, reflective, and forward‑focused process. Coaching is not therapy, not medical care, and not a substitute for mental health treatment, medical advice, legal counsel, or crisis services.
Coaching may involve:
Deep listening and attuned conversation
Reflection, insight, and pattern‑noticing
Values clarification and goal exploration
Support during periods of transition or growth
The Client understands that coaching does not diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or mental health condition.
2. Scope of Practice
Seen & Held™ coaching is grounded in relational attunement and psychological safety. Sessions are guided by the Client’s goals, pace, and consent.
Coaching does not include:
Therapy or counseling
Crisis intervention
Emergency services
Medical or psychiatric treatment
If the Coach believes the Client may benefit from additional support (such as therapy or medical care), this may be named gently and collaboratively.
3. Client Responsibility
The Client acknowledges that:
They are responsible for their own decisions, actions, and outcomes
Coaching is a partnership, not a directive service
They may pause, slow, or stop the coaching process at any time
The Client agrees to communicate honestly, respectfully, and with care for themselves and the coaching container.
4. Confidentiality
All coaching conversations are held in confidence and treated with care.
Confidentiality may be broken only in the following circumstances:
If required by law
If there is risk of imminent harm to the Client or others
If abuse or neglect of a vulnerable person is disclosed and legally reportable
Seen & Held™, LLC does not share client information with third parties without written consent.
5. Session Structure & Fees
Sessions are held virtually (Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams) unless otherwise agreed upon
Session length and fees are outlined at the time of booking
Payment is due at the time of booking unless otherwise arranged
Seen & Held™, LLC does not accept insurance.
6. Cancellation & Rescheduling
Clients may reschedule or cancel sessions with at least 24 hours’ notice
Late cancellations or missed sessions may be charged in full
Exceptions may be made for emergencies or unforeseen circumstances, at the Coach’s discretion
7. No Guarantees
Coaching outcomes vary by individual. While the Coach commits to presence, skill, and integrity, no specific outcomes or results are guaranteed.
8. Boundaries & Mutual Respect
Seen & Held™ coaching is rooted in mutual respect, consent, and clear boundaries.
Either party may end the coaching relationship if it no longer feels aligned, safe, or effective. Fees for unused sessions will be handled in accordance with the booking agreement.
9. Liability Waiver
The Client agrees that Seen & Held™, LLC and its representatives are not liable for any decisions, actions, or outcomes resulting from coaching sessions.
By entering this Agreement, the Client releases the Coach from liability for claims arising from the coaching relationship, except in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
10. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
