Coaching boundaries
Coaching provides a supportive, reflective and developmental space to help you explore goals, challenges, wellbeing, confidence, behaviour change and personal or professional growth.
Coaching may include:
- reflection and self-awareness
- goal setting
- behaviour change support
- values exploration
- problem-solving
- accountability
- professional or personal development
Coaching is designed to help you think clearly, strengthen self-trust and take purposeful action.
However, coaching is not therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, psychiatric care or medical treatment.
No specific outcomes can be guaranteed.
Medical Disclaimer
Although Dr Gibson is a qualified GP and medical doctor, coaching and supervision services are provided in a non-medical capacity.
Services do not include:
- medical diagnosis
- medical advice
- investigations or interpretation of results
- prescribing
- treatment
- clinical monitoring
- medical follow-up
No doctor–patient relationship is created through coaching, supervision, enquiry forms or website contact.
Any information shared during coaching or supervision is educational and reflective in nature and should not replace advice from a client’s own GP, specialist or healthcare professional.
Clients with concerns about their physical health should seek support through their own healthcare team.
Mental Health & Crisis Support
Coaching is not a crisis mental health service.
Castle Health & Coaching Ltd does NOT provide emergency mental health support, psychiatric care, urgent emotional support, or crisis intervention.
Coaching may not be appropriate if you are currently experiencing:
- acute mental illness
- significant psychological distress
- suicidal thoughts
- severe emotional crisis
If you require urgent support, please contact:
- your GP
- NHS 111
- local crisis services
- emergency services (999)
If, during a course of coaching, it becomes clear that another form of support would be more appropriate, this will be discussed with you. It may be recommended that you seek additional or alternative support as appropriate for your individual needs. Where appropriate, coaching may be paused or stopped.
Neurodiversity Coaching
Neurodiversity coaching is strengths-based and neuro-affirming.
It is intended to support self-understanding, practical strategies, confidence and sustainable ways of working that align with an individual’s strengths and needs.
Neurodiversity coaching is not diagnostic assessment and does not replace psychological assessment, mental health care or specialist neurodevelopmental services.
A formal diagnosis is NOT required to access this coaching support.
Coaching Supervision
Coaching supervision offers reflective, restorative and developmental support for coaches and professionals using coaching in practice.
Supervision provides space to think clearly about client work, professional development, ethical practice and practitioner wellbeing.
Supervision is not managerial supervision, performance management, therapy or clinical supervision. The professional responsibility for clients remains with the practitioner being supervised.
Confidentiality
Sessions are confidential.
Confidentiality may only be broken where there are concerns regarding:
- serious risk of harm to self or others
- safeguarding concerns
- legal obligations
Where possible, any need to break confidentiality would be discussed with the client in advance.
