Elyssa Desai Coaching & Hypnotherapy Terms
These Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) are entered into by and between: Elyssa Desai Coaching and the Client, whereby Elyssa Desai Coaching agrees to provide Coaching and/or Hypnotherapy Services for the Client focusing on the following topics attached to this document as Schedule A.
Description of Coaching
Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the Client to maximise professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business ideas and goals.
Description of Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a technique that utilises hypnosis to aid the Client in the treatment of specific behaviours, thoughts, feelings, symptoms or health conditions. Hypnotherapy works by inducing a hypnotic state which allows the Client to focus on the behaviours, thoughts and feelings that are unconscious.
Coach-Client Relationship
The Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behaviour established by the International Coach Federation “(ICF)” (coachfederation.org/icf-ethics). It is recommended that the Client review the ICF Code of Ethics and the applicable standards of behaviour.
The Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing his/her own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the Coach/Client relationship and his/her coaching calls and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach 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 Coach. Client understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.
The Client further acknowledges that he/she may terminate or discontinue the Coach/Client relationship at any time.
The Client acknowledges that coaching and hypnotherapy are comprehensive processes that may involve different areas of his or her life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education and recreation. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle these issues, incorporate coaching principles into those areas and implementing choices is exclusively the Client’s responsibility.
The Client acknowledges that coaching and hypnotherapy 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 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 Coach/Client relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.
The Client understands that in order to enhance the Coach/Client relationship, the Client agrees to communicate honestly, be open to feedback and assistance and to create the time and energy to participate fully in the session/s.
The Client understands the Coach is not a psychiatrist and is not a medical practitioner.

The Coach agrees not to disclose any information pertaining to the Client without the Client’s written consent.

The Client also acknowledges his or her continuing obligation to raise any confidentiality questions or concerns with the Coach in a timely manner.
Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
The Client agrees that it is the Client's responsibility to cancel the Coaching and/or Hypnotherapy Session 48 hours out from the original scheduled time.

Limited Liability
Except as expressly provided in these T&Cs, the Coach makes no guarantees, representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied with respect to the coaching services negotiated, agreed upon and rendered. In no event shall the Coach be liable to the Client for any indirect, consequential or special damages. Notwithstanding any damages that the Client may incur, the Coach’s entire liability under these T&Cs, and the Client’s exclusive remedy, shall be limited to the amount actually paid by the Client to the Coach under these T&Cs for all Coaching and/or Hypnotherapy services rendered through and including any termination date.

Severability
If any provision of these T&Cs shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and enforceable. If the Court finds that any provision in these T&Cs is invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable, then such provision shall be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.
Waiver
The failure of either party to enforce any provision in these T&Cs shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party's right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of these T&Cs.
Applicable Law
These T&Cs shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws provisions.
