You can expect that your coach will be honest and direct, asking straightforward questions and using challenging techniques to help you move forward. You are expected to evaluate your own progress; and, if the coaching is not working as you wish, you should immediately inform your Coach so that we can both take steps to correct the problem. As with any human endeavor, coaching can involve feelings of discomfort and frustration which may accompany the process of change. Coaching does not offer any guarantee of success.

Life and parent coaching are NOT therapy, and although Frederique Begin, LICSW is also a practicing Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she is NOT in the role of your therapist under this Agreement. A life/business coach does not diagnose or treat mental illnesses. If you are currently in therapy, you are strongly encouraged to inform your therapist that you are also engaged in coaching, to help ensure that their work with you is mutually supportive toward your goals. It is understood and agreed to by The Client and The Coach that if either of us recognizes that you, the client, have a problem that would benefit from psychotherapy, that the coach may refer or direct you to appropriate resources in addition to or in lieu of Coaching.

In some situations as a condition of our continuance as your coach, I may insist that you enter psychotherapy as a condition of continued coaching and that I have your consent to discuss matters which concern you with your psychotherapist for continuity of care. It is further understood that the coaches are not obligated to provide you, the client, with psychotherapy services in any way.

Life & parent coaching tend to focus more on action, accountability, potential, and the future. Coaching services are a good fit for individuals who are emotionally and psychologically healthy and who want to make changes and move forward in their lives on personal life and business goals.
