What you get
Each card shows what the document is for, and whether it comes with Starter or Pro.
Starter · Addendum
What it is: Platform, recording consent, technical failure, remote confidentiality and time zones - everything that changes when you coach online.
Why you need it: Remote coaching introduces platform liability, recording consent issues, and tech failure scenarios not covered by a standard agreement.
Pro · Corporate
What it is: Business-to-business coaching contract: the three-way relationship, what may and may not be reported to the sponsor, fees and purchase orders, and contractor status.
Why you need it: Corporate engagements involve three parties (coach, employee, employer) and need specific terms around reporting, feedback, and payment.
Starter · Ethics
What it is: Coaching vs therapy, dual relationships, professional code of practice declaration.
Why you need it: Clients often arrive unsure what coaching is. A written statement sets out where coaching ends and other support begins, and how you work.
Starter · Invoicing
What it is: Individual session, programme package, or group session invoicing.
Why you need it: A consistent invoice makes it clear what was delivered, what is owed and how to pay, without rebuilding the layout each time.
Starter · Onboarding
What it is: Background, goals, readiness check — structured onboarding your clients take seriously.
Why you need it: Knowing a new client's background, goals and readiness before the first session lets you spend that session coaching rather than collecting basics.
Starter · Sales
What it is: Structured script with qualification questions and post-call actions — close more clients.
Why you need it: A first call goes better with a plan. The script keeps you to the same questions and leaves room to note how well the prospect fits.
Pro · Consent
What it is: Granular consent: name options, video, case study use, social media, withdrawal rights.
Why you need it: Before you publish a client's words or story, you need to know exactly what they agreed to. This form records each choice separately.

Trusted by Coaches
"Had a corporate client try to expand scope mid-engagement without additional budget. The coaching agreement was crystal clear on deliverables. They backed down immediately."
James, Executive Coach — London
"The cancellation policy template changed my business. I used to lose £300-400 a month from last-minute cancellations. Now clients respect my time because the terms are in writing upfront."
Rachel, Life Coach — Edinburgh
"The GDPR and confidentiality section is what sold me. My clients are senior executives who need discretion. Having a proper confidentiality clause in the agreement gives them confidence."
Tom, Career Coach — Manchester

FAQ
Yes. A signed coaching agreement protects both you and your client by defining session terms, payment, confidentiality, cancellation policies, and the scope of the coaching relationship.
Session frequency and duration, fees and payment terms, cancellation policy, confidentiality provisions, liability limitations, and GDPR-compliant data handling.
No. Group coaching requires a separate agreement covering multi-client dynamics, shared confidentiality, and different cancellation and payment structures.
