ICF Code of Ethics

Update info: 25.01.2025

I follow the highest ethical standards as an ICF-accredited leadership and mental health coach. The ICF Code of Ethics guides my practice. This framework helps me make fair and ethical decisions while staying accountable. My goal is to create a coaching experience rooted in integrity, respect, and professionalism so you feel supported every step of the way.

What Is the ICF Code of Ethics?

The ICF Code of Ethics is a global standard that all professional coaches must follow. It outlines how coaches should treat clients, colleagues, and the public. The code builds trust in the coaching profession by protecting clients and promoting fairness.

The Ethical Standards I Follow

As your coach, I strictly follow the ICF Code of Ethics. Below are the key principles that guide my work:

1. Professional Conduct

  • I live by the ICF Core Values, including respect, integrity, collaboration, and excellence.
  • I avoid actions or words that could harm you, mislead others, or misrepresent coaching.

2. Clear Handling of Conflicts of Interest

  • I disclose any conflicts of interest as soon as they arise.
  • I create clear boundaries to ensure my personal interests never affect your coaching.

3. Confidentiality and Transparency

  • I keep your information private unless you allow me to share it or a legal requirement applies.
  • I ensure you fully understand how coaching works, your rights, and the limits of confidentiality.

4. Commitment to Growth

  • I invest in ongoing training to continually improve my coaching skills.
  • I seek feedback and participate in professional supervision to provide the best service possible.
