Consulting is a relationship (not a legal business partnership) between the Consultant and the Client to support in a creative process that inspires the client to maximise personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.
5. Client Responsibilities
5.1. The client is solely responsible for creating and implementing their own financial, professional, physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the consulting relationship and the client’s consulting calls and interactions with the Consultant. As such, the Client agrees that the Consultant is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Consultant. The client understands consulting is not therapy or a professional service and does not substitute for therapy or a professional service if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
5.2. The client further acknowledges that they may terminate or discontinue the consulting relationship at any time.
5.3. The client acknowledges that consulting is a comprehensive process that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation.

Furthermore, the Client acknowledges that they are wholly responsible for any and all outcomes from the consulting relationship.
5.4. The client acknowledges that consulting does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by financial, legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client’s exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If the Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the consulting relationship.
