Ethics Statement

At Shay Clark Coaching, I am deeply committed to fostering a coaching space built on respect, honesty, and compassion. Whether you’re seeking support in your personal life, your relationships, or your connection as a couple or partnership, my role is to walk alongside you with integrity and care.

My ethical commitment includes the following principles:

​

1. Confidentiality and Trust
Your privacy is a top priority. All sessions and communications are held in strict confidence, with information only shared with your consent or when required by law. I aim to create a space where you feel safe to speak freely and be fully yourself.

​

2. Inclusive, Affirming Coaching for All Relationship Types
Love, connection, and growth take many forms. I honor and support all types of relationships—monogamous, non-monogamous, polyamorous, queer, blended, chosen families, and beyond. Everyone is welcome here, and every relationship deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental support.

​

3. Client-Led, Collaborative Process
You are the expert in your own life. My role is to support your clarity, growth, and alignment with your values—not to direct your choices. Coaching is a co-creative partnership rooted in deep listening, curiosity, and mutual respect.

​

4. Cultural Awareness and Non-Discrimination
This practice is committed to equity, inclusion, and anti-oppression. I work to continually examine my own biases and welcome clients of all identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences. No matter your race, gender, sexuality, culture, ability, or relationship style—you belong here.

​

5. Professional Integrity and Scope
I maintain clear boundaries in my coaching practice and only offer services within my training and expertise. If your needs would be better supported by a therapist, medical provider, or other professional, I will offer appropriate referrals.

​

6. Ongoing Learning and Accountability
Ethical practice is not static. I commit to ongoing education, reflection, and personal growth to ensure I show up with the presence and skill my clients deserve.

​

​

If you ever have questions, concerns, or feedback, I welcome open and honest communication.
