Trust & safety
The ground this work stands on.
Safety is not a marketing word here. It is the structure underneath every session. These are the principles you can expect, in writing.
Confidentiality
What you share stays between us. Sessions are private, secure, and never shared without your explicit consent, except where safeguarding law requires.
Ethical boundaries
Clear boundaries around contact, scope of practice, and the coaching relationship itself. Boundaries are part of the safety.
Trauma-informed practice
Safety, choice, collaboration, trust and empowerment guide every session. You set the depth. We pace together.
Safe pacing
We do not push for catharsis or breakthroughs. The work goes at the speed your nervous system can integrate.
Coaching is not therapy
MendCoaching is coaching, not clinical mental health care. It is not a substitute for therapy, psychiatric care, or crisis support.
Appropriate referral
If your needs sit better with a therapist, GP, or crisis service, I will say so honestly and help point you toward the right support.
If you are in crisis right now
MendCoaching is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate crisis or at risk of harming yourself or others, please contact Samaritans on 116 123 (free, 24/7), call 999, or go to your nearest A&E.
Take the next quiet step.
