Script text

Welcome, [Client Name]. I'm really glad you're here.

Before we dive into our first real session, I want to spend a few minutes setting up how we're going to work together — because the container matters as much as the content.

First: this space is completely confidential. Everything you share stays between us, with the one exception of [State your mandatory reporting or safety exceptions].

Second: my role as your coach is not to give you all the answers. My job is to ask you better questions than you're asking yourself, and to hold you to the version of yourself you said you want to become. Sometimes that will feel uncomfortable. That's usually when the best work happens.

Third: you're in the driver's seat. You set the agenda. If something I say doesn't land right, or if you need us to slow down or change direction — say so. This is your time.

Good. Let's make that our north star.

By [End of programme or first milestone], here's what success looks like for you: [Summarise in their words].

Let's start there. Tell me about this past week — where have you been with this?
