  2. Role of Coach

    The Coach (Jazz) will:

    • Be non-judgmental, objective, honest and open throughout the coaching relationship

    • Provide a safe and supportive environment for Clients to work through their feelings and explore strategies for change and development

    • Support the Client during their coaching journey

    • Listen carefully, question and use coaching skills to help the Client work through issues arising and create stepping stones towards their desired outcomes

    • Observe confidentiality unless consent is given to disclose information, or disclosure is required by law

    • Be honest with the Client where an issue cannot be dealt with through coaching.

    • Is open to challenges to their thoughts, ideas and mindset

    • Understands that they have sole responsibility for making important decisions in their life

    • Understands that the Coach (Jazz) is not a psychotherapist, psychiatrist, counsellor or medical professional, and that coaching is not a substitute for professional mental health care or medical care, and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any mental health or medical conditions

    • Understands that coaching does not include legal or financial advice.

  4. Coaching schedule

    The coaching schedule will be agreed between the Client and the Coach (Jazz). 

  5. Coaching sessions and packages

    The Client and Coach (Jazz) will work together to determine the best investment for coaching to meet the particular needs, interests and concerns of the Client.  The specific terms and conditions for each package are outlined on the website.

  6. Payment terms

    Payment is made in advance at time of booking sessions, unless otherwise agreed.  Where a payment schedule is agreed, this will be set out on the invoice to the Client.

    Where payment has not been received by the Coach (Jazz) in advance of a session, the Coach (Jazz) is not obliged to provide the session.

    Where a Client requests a receipt, this will be sent by email unless otherwise requested.

  7. Scheduled sessions

    It is expected that scheduled sessions will begin at the agreed time.  Any sessions which begin after that time due to late Client arrival, for whatever reason, cannot be extended beyond the agreed finish time.

    In the case of a situation beyond the Client’s control, please contact the Coach (Jazz) as soon as possible at admin@jazzgrewalconsulting.com.

  8. Between sessions

    The Client may leave a session with an action plan designed to help them focus on moving forward positively.  The Coach (Jazz) may ask the Client to undertake certain tasks or exercises between coaching sessions. There is no obligation on the Client to complete these, but not doing so may slow the Client’s progress and impede their ability to move forward.

    Where email and/or telephone support is agreed as part of a package, the Coach (Jazz) will be available to the Client, within reason, by email/telephone in between scheduled sessions.  The Coach (Jazz) will endeavour to reply to emails/messages as promptly as possible, within usual business hours (Monday 9 am - Friday noon).

  9. Cancellation policy

    If the Client is unable to attend a scheduled session, please let the Coach (Jazz) know as soon as possible, and at least 48 hours in advance of the scheduled session.  The Coach (Jazz) will try in good faith to reschedule the missed session.

    If the Client simply fails to attend a scheduled session or does not give the required notice of at least 48 hours, the Coach (Jazz) reserves the right to retain the fees paid.

    In the case of serious accident, emergency or other situation beyond the Client’s control, please deal with the situation first, and then notify the Coach (Jazz) at the earliest convenience.  The Coach (Jazz) will follow up typically within 24 to 48 hours of the missed appointment.

    If for any reason, the Coach (Jazz) needs to cancel an appointment, 5 days’ notice will be given (if possible) and an alternative time will be offered.

  10. Confidentiality

    Any personal information shared with the Coach (Jazz) by the Client as part of the coaching relationship will be treated as confidential. It will not be disclosed to a third party without the Client’s prior consent, except where required by law or where action might be necessary to prevent harm to the client or someone else.

    The Coach (Jazz) will not disclose the Client’s name as a reference without the Client’s consent.

    It is, of course, not possible to protect the confidentiality of information that is transmitted electronically through emails and computers connected to the internet that do not utilise security or encryption protection.

    Where consultations are conducted in a group format, the Client agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information communicated to the Client by the Coach (Jazz) and other coaching Clients.

  11. Liability

    Coaching is provided with all reasonable care and skill.  Subject to that, the Coach (Jazz) does not accept any liability to the Client, and gives no warranty as to what outcome the Client may achieve as a result of coaching.  The Client is responsible for the actions he/she takes or does not take following the coaching received by the Client.

    To the extent permitted by law, the Coach’s (Jazz’s) maximum aggregate liability in acting for the Client is capped at what is recoverable by the Coach under her professional indemnity insurance cover from time to time.  A copy of the relevant policy is available on request.
