Ethics
Statement
I am committed to upholding the highest ethical standards in my practice. I firmly believe that ethics form the foundation of a trusting and effective coaching relationship. With that in mind, I want to share my ethics statement to provide clarity on the principles that guide my coaching practice:
Confidentiality and Privacy: I value the confidentiality and privacy of my clients. All information shared during coaching sessions is treated with the utmost respect and kept strictly confidential, except in cases where disclosure is required by law or when there is a risk of harm to the client or others. I follow ethical guidelines and professional standards to ensure the protection of personal information.
Client Empowerment and Autonomy: I believe in the inherent potential and autonomy of my clients. I am committed to empowering individuals to make their own decisions, set their own goals, and take responsibility for their actions. I respect the unique values, perspectives, and choices of each client, and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space that promotes self-discovery and growth.
Professional Competence and Continuous Learning: I am dedicated to maintaining and enhancing my professional competence as a Coach. I commit to staying updated with the latest industry research, best practices, and coaching techniques. I engage in ongoing professional development, attend relevant training programs, and seek supervision or consultation when necessary to ensure that I provide the highest quality coaching services to my clients.
Ethical Boundaries: I maintain clear and professional boundaries with my clients. I refrain from engaging in any behaviour, activities, or relationships that could compromise the integrity of the coaching relationship or exploit the trust placed in me as a coach. I am aware of the potential impact of power dynamics and ensure that the coaching relationship is based on mutual respect, equality, and transparency.
Conflict of Interest: I am committed to avoiding conflicts of interest that may compromise the best interests of my clients. I strive to maintain objectivity and impartiality in my coaching practice, putting the needs and goals of my clients first. If a situation arises where a conflict of interest may arise, I will disclose it to the client and, if necessary, explore appropriate actions to address it.
Professional Conduct and Integrity: I adhere to professional standards of conduct and behave ethically in all interactions with clients, colleagues, and the coaching profession as a whole. I am committed to honest and transparent communication, respecting intellectual property rights, and promoting diversity, inclusivity, and equal opportunities in my coaching practice.
This ethics statement serves as a guiding framework for my coaching practice. It reflects my dedication to providing a supportive, ethical, and empowering coaching experience for my clients, where their well-being, growth, and success are paramount.
