I understand and agree that I am fully responsible for my well-being during my coaching sessions, and subsequently, including my choices and decisions. I understand that coaching is not a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment, and I will not use it in place of any form of therapy. I understand that all comments and ideas offered by Helena Carrizosa are solely for the purpose of aiding me in achieving the defined goals I create with Helena Carrizosa. I have the ability to give my informed consent, and hereby give such consent to Helena Carrizosa to assist me in achieving such goals and understand that results are not guaranteed. I understand that to the extent our work together involves individual or career or business, Helena Carrizosa is not promising outcomes included but not limited to increased clientele, profitability and or business success. I understand that Helena Carrizosa will protect my information as confidential unless I state otherwise in writing. If I report child, elder abuse or neglect or threaten to harm myself or someone else, I understand that necessary actions will be taken and my confidentiality agreement limited in this capacity. Furthermore, if Helena Carrizosa is ordered by a court to provide information or to testify, she will do so to the extent the law requires.
