12. Life Coaching Disclaimer

Transformation Academy does not endorse, is not responsible for, and cannot be held liable for the actions of any student who enrolls in programs offered by Transformation Academy, including those who receive life coach certifications.

Life coaches must be aware of and strictly adhere to the appropriate role of a life coach. Life coaches are not licensed health care providers or therapists and must not provide medical advice, engage in patient diagnosis, or practice therapy. They do not treat or otherwise counsel those with mental illness. Life coaches are obligated to refer clients in need of mental or physical health therapy to an appropriate licensed professional.

While counselors or therapists often deal with a patient’s mental/emotional conditions and/or processing trauma, a life coach never addresses such issues. The role of a life coach, in its most simple form, is to encourage, coach and/or act as a facilitator of a client’s self-reflection, decision making, planning for the future, and creating life changes. While clear boundaries exist between coaching and therapy, due to the legal obligations and requirements for practicing therapy, there are many similarities. Both therapists and coaches work one-on-one with clients in an ongoing relationship. Certain psychological principles and theoretical frameworks are used in both therapy and coaching in order to facilitate positive life change.

Under no circumstances should a life coach refer to themselves as a therapist, refer to what they do as therapy, or practice as a mental health counselor or therapist without the required Master’s level degree and license.

Coaching Ethics and Standards: Although there are no official legal ethical guidelines for life coaches, the industry standard is to follow the guidelines set forth for therapists and psychologists. We cover these standards in our course Life Coaching: A Complete Guide. You can read more about these guidelines below:
