Safety & support
Some situations need more than coaching — and that is not a failure.
Coaching and relationship education are for capable people in ordinary struggles. If your situation involves danger, violence, coercive control, abuse, or a mental-health crisis, you deserve support that is qualified for exactly that — promptly, and without judgement.

How we handle this in our work
If concerns of this kind surface during coaching or a programme, we pause the coaching work, say so honestly, and help you connect with appropriately qualified support. Referral is part of the craft — not an exit.
