Services

The services provided by Kathleen Allen, Life Coach, LLC are generally conducted via telephone, Zoom or in person. Coaching is a partnership focused on developing the client’s awareness, thinking, and abilities in order to help the client identify and achieve his/her personal goals. In coaching conversations, I will be direct and honest and encourage the Client to do the same. The success of the coaching engagement depends upon the Client’s commitment and openness to the process. If the Client believes that coaching is not working as desired, the Client agrees to communicate this to the Coach. Please note that life coaching should not be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment and I will not use it in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment or therapy.

Terms of Coaching

I invite you to think of Coaching as a process. Many people create change for themselves in a short time. However, to refine and sustain the change takes several months. Although not binding, I would ask that you expect our Coaching relationship to last at least 3 months.

Confidentiality

Kathleen Allen, Life Coach, LLC fully protects the privacy and confidentiality of the communications with its Clients. At no time will I voluntarily divulge the coaching relationship between myself and my Clients without written permission from the Clients, unless required to do so by law.

My Coaching Commitment

Fees

Coaching fees are paid in advance of sessions. Payment for Coaching Sessions is to be made online through Kathleen Allen life coach.com/scheduling. In the event Client fails to pay any amount due by 24 hours prior to the scheduled session, it may be cancelled at the Coach’s discretion.

Coaching Sessions

At the scheduled appointment time, the Coach agrees to call the Client at an agreed upon number. The Coach and client commit to start and finish each session on time. If the client does not pick up on the initial call, the Coach will make a second call after 10 minutes, if that call is not answered, the coach will assume the session is cancelled and the client will forfeit the session fee.

Cancellations

I ask that you give 24 hours notice if you need to cancel or change the time of appointment. I will make every effort as well, to re-schedule sessions which are cancelled in a timely manner. If a client does not cancel in a timely manner on a regular basis, I will need to end our coaching relationship. Cancellation (less than 24 hours before) and/or no‐show appointments are billed to the client for the full amount.

Termination of Services

Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client shall not be relieved of any obligations to pay fees due to Kathleen Allen, Life Coach, LLC solely because of the termination of this Agreement.
