Life Coaching Consent Forms Packet
“Mari Lee’s multi page Life Coaching Form is a priceless resource for coaches. As a therapist who is new to the field of coaching, I needed paperwork that clearly distinguished the difference between therapy and coaching and provided clear and ethical language. Mari Lee’s form packet provides that and more. It is evident that Mari has done valuable research to create this resource. You will save yourself time, stress, and energy by getting this, and you’ll be grateful you did! These forms were exactly what I needed to successfully launch into the exciting field of life coaching.”
Life coaching is an increasingly popular way of working with individuals who are in need of support. In my role as a business coach to other clinical professionals, I was concerned to learn that there are licensed therapists who provide life coaching without having comprehensive consent forms in place.
While Psychotherapy and Life Coaching may have a few similarities, they are fundamentally different in many respects. Also, it is important to remember that licensed therapists in the U.S. may not provide therapy services outside of the state they are licensed in.
If a therapist chooses to provide life coaching, it is important to have ethical coaching consent forms that clearly state the difference between life coaching and therapy. My hope is that by providing this multipage form, this material will help other therapists feel more ethically secure in their coaching services.

Product Description
“I have been so fortunate to be able to work with Mari Lee in building my coaching practice, and having access to her coaching forms was especially helpful. Creating those forms on my own felt like a burdensome obstacle for me as I was very concerned I might leave out something of importance. Mari’s forms are incredibly thorough and complete, so by using hers I am relieved of that burden. Her forms include just about every liability disclaimer one could need, along with the history of coaching and the clinical differences between coaching and psychotherapy. I am so grateful to have these at the click of a button, and now feel freed up to focus on marketing and finding my own professional voice in the field.”
“I’ve been a licensed marriage and family therapist for almost twenty years and have had a passing interest in adding coaching to my business. However, I’ve been unsure and unclear about how to exactly do this. This packet pretty much clears up every question I’ve had about how to add this important service to my business. Mari has unique strengths in the areas of setting clear expectations, clear boundaries, and explaining things in a non-threatening way. This is an easy-to-understand set of policies that will help clients and providers start off on the same page. I’m thrilled to have this resources available to me as I add coaching to my business.””
