Important Professional Note: The title "Coach" is not legally protected in the UK, meaning there is no mandatory state registration required to practice. However, the coaching profession relies on self-regulation through established professional bodies like the International Coach Federation (ICF), European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), and Association for Coaching (AC). Completion of recognised coach-specific training and holding individual credentials or accreditation from these bodies are key indicators of professional competence, ethical practice, and quality assurance. While not legally mandated, such qualifications are strongly preferred or required for eligibility on the Mentalzon platform. Coaching is distinct from therapy; coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health disorders. This role is offered on a self-employed basis, requiring practitioners to manage their own insurance, ethics, CPD, and business practices.
