What's in it
1. Scope of coaching
Defines what coaching is (and isn't) — critical for setting expectations that coaching isn't therapy, medical, financial, or legal advice.
2. Session structure
Frequency, length, and format, so there's no ambiguity about what the client is actually paying for.
3. Fees and payment
Amount, schedule, accepted methods, and what happens on late payment — spelled out before it's ever an awkward conversation.
4. Cancellation and rescheduling
A clear notice-period policy protects your calendar and your income from last-minute no-shows.
5. Confidentiality
What you keep private, and the narrow legal exceptions (like risk of harm) where you don't.
6. Client responsibilities
Names that results depend on the client's own effort, not a guarantee you're making.
7. Limitation of liability
Protects you from being held responsible for decisions a client makes based on coaching conversations.
8. Term and termination
How either party can end the engagement, and what happens to sessions already paid for.
9. Signatures
Makes it a real, mutually agreed document, not just a policy page.
