Crucial Note for Coaches and Clients: Coaching is a valuable tool for personal and professional development, goal achievement, and enhancing well-being. It is distinct from psychotherapy, counselling, and medical treatment. Coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health disorders or medical conditions. If you are experiencing significant emotional distress, believe you may have a mental health condition, or require clinical treatment, please consult with a regulated healthcare professional (e.g., physician, psychologist, registered psychotherapist, psychiatrist). Mentalzon.com lists a variety of regulated mental health professionals for these needs. Coaches on this platform are expected to uphold this distinction rigorously and refer clients when appropriate.
