Terms and Conditions

COACHING AGREEMENT

This Coaching Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between:

This agreement outlines the terms of our coaching relationship, ensuring clear expectations, boundaries, and responsibilities for both the client and coach.

1. Purpose of Coaching

Coaching is a collaborative, action-oriented process designed to help you gain clarity, develop strategies, and take meaningful steps toward your personal recovery and self-improvement goals. Coaching is not therapy, counseling, or medical treatment.

Coaching Is:

✔ A goal-focused, forward-moving approach

✔ A space for accountability, self-reflection, and strategic action

✔ A partnership designed to help you break cycles, build resilience, and reclaim your personal power

Coaching Is Not:

✖ Therapy, counseling, or medical treatment

✖ A substitute for mental health services

✖ A space for diagnosing or treating mental health conditions

✖ A crisis line—if you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please seek immediate help from a licensed professional, emergency services, or a crisis hotline.

I am not acting in a clinical counselor capacity in this coaching relationship, and I will not diagnose, assess, or treat mental illness. If at any point it is determined that therapy or medical intervention would be beneficial, I will refer you to an appropriate provider.

2. Coaching Services Provided

Coaching sessions will be conducted via [the Spruce app] and will include:

✔ One 60-minute coaching session per week (for monthly coaching clients)

✔ Daily messaging check-ins for accountability and support (response time within 12 hours)

✔ Relapse prevention planning & personalized goal-setting

✔ Access to recovery workbooks and resources

✔ Support for cravings, triggers, and recovery obstacles

Messaging & Communication Policy

I utilize a secure app, the Spruce Messaging App, for all coaching communications and sessions. You will be required to sign up for Spruce and use it as our primary communication platform.

✔ Guaranteed response time: within 12 hours

✔ I will always do my best to respond ASAP, but response times may vary based on availability

✔ This is not a crisis line. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact 911, a crisis hotline, or a licensed mental health professional.

✔ Messaging support is meant for accountability and guidance, not crisis intervention.

✔ You may also reach out via message or phone at 740-200-0550 for coaching-related questions and support.

💡 In case of emergency or crisis, please contact emergency services or a licensed therapist. Coaching does not replace professional mental health treatment.

4. Confidentiality & Privacy

Your privacy is important to me. Everything discussed in coaching sessions will remain strictly confidential, except in the following cases:

✔ If you disclose harm to yourself or others, I am legally required to report it.

✔ If required by law or court order.

✔ If you request that information be shared with a third party.

Coaching conversations are not protected by therapist-client privilege, as coaching is not therapy.

As a coaching client, you agree to:

✔ Show up on time and prepared for scheduled sessions.

✔ Engage actively in the coaching process.

✔ Be honest and open about challenges and goals.

✔ Take responsibility for your own progress and actions.

Coaching is not a passive process—your results will depend on your commitment to taking action.

6. Termination of Coaching Relationship

Either party may terminate the coaching relationship at any time. Reasons for termination may include:

✔ Client no longer requiring or benefiting from coaching

✔ Violation of this agreement

✔ Lack of engagement in the coaching process

If coaching is terminated by the client, no refunds will be issued for unused sessions.

7. Agreement & Signature

By agreeing to be Coached by Tim Welch, both parties acknowledge that they have read, understand, and agree to the terms outlined in this coaching agreement.

Final Notes:

This agreement is designed to create clear expectations while giving you the structure and support needed to thrive. Coaching is an investment in yourself—the more effort you put in, the more you will get out of it.

💡 I am here to support you, guide you, and help you stay accountable—but real transformation happens when you take action. Let’s get started!
