If You're Eligible for the Programme
Your coach will email you directly to introduce themselves and send their booking link.
If We Need More Information
We'll email you to inquire more or suggest a brief 30-minute meeting. If our programme isn't the best fit, we'll share other resources that may be more suitable for your needs.
The programme includes 6 x 45-minute video calls via Google Meet or Zoom. Sessions are typically weekly, but you can book in according to your schedule. If you have to skip a week, just let your coach know!
Once you've completed six sessions, you can choose to extend your sessions if needed. Extended sessions can be free or paid depending on your preference. If paid, you'd pay the coach directly for the session fees. Overcome receives no commission from it.
Coaches store their session notes in an encrypted database, to which they have access only for their allocated clients' details.
After each session, coaches email a high-level summary with detailed action points to their clients, unless you request something different in the sign-up form.
Except in exceptional circumstances where there is concern for the client's or another person's safety (for example, an imminent risk of suicide), the only people who can access the session notes are the coach themselves. See the confidentiality section for more details.
