Scope of practice
What this service is, and what it is not.
What is offered
Coaching and psychological skills development for adults: adaptation to a new country, life and professional transitions, everyday stress, routines, focus, motivation, confidence, decision-making, and mental skills for sport and performance.
Work is goal-directed and collaborative. It draws on psychology, but it is not treatment.
What is not offered
No psychotherapy, no psychiatric or medical treatment, no clinical diagnosis, no assessment reports, no medication advice, and no crisis or emergency care.
Referral
When a person's needs fall outside the scope of coaching, an appropriate referral will be recommended. This can be discussed openly at any point, including during the free introductory call.
In an emergency
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.
