Coaching agreement

Please read, I've tried it keep it brief!

This is our coaching agreement between you and me, Andrew Lewis, your ADHD Coach. Please read and accept the terms, so that you understand what I offer you and what our coaching is about.

• Monthly Coaching: Coaching is paid for and committed to, on a monthly basis. Payment is in advance, using Stripe recurring, subscription payments.
• Frequency: We have three 50 minute, sessions per month on an agreed time and day of the week for the first three full weeks of each month e.g. Tuesday at 10am on 4th, 11th and 18th June.
• Finishing: Very easy, before the next months starts with as much notice as you can, let me know on our call or email Alison, we'll stop further payments and finish remaining sessions that month
• Voice calls: Sessions are voice calls, by phone or WhatsApp. Please make every effort (mobile reminders etc) to call me at the scheduled time. If you are late to the call, we can still go ahead but the call will end at the usual time.
• Planning: Before each session, please complete the Weekly call form to help focus your thoughts on the call
• Contact: Alison with any questions

Rearrangements and refunds

Before the commencement of the next month of coaching you will be emailed the new time slots. At this point we can rearrange coaching times for holidays etc. After that point the times are committed, by you and me. If something happens I'll try to find an alternate time but no guarantees as I don't always have free time to rearrange us to.

My intentions as your ADHD coach

I look forward to working with you. I am committed to helping you create and achieve your vision for your personal life and career. I want you to enjoy your coaching sessions and believe that only happens in a safe and unconditionally constructive atmosphere.

I will honestly tell you what I observe, seek your agreement to changes in your behaviours, give you straight compassionate advice and champion your strengths and successes. I hope you will learn more about your ADHD traits, develop the ability to create ADHD strategies that work, and take action towards reaching your desired goals.

We will explore your strengths, and direct your life more to interests and passions than weaknesses and challenges. As your ADHD coach, I will help you to create strategies that allow you to reach your full potential in all aspects of life: work, relationships, and everyday tasks – and to achieve greater health, happiness and wellbeing.
