Standards

I want my work to feel safe, grounded and trustworthy, especially when we’re talking about high-functioning burnout, loss or life disruption, identity and resilience. This page explains the standards I work to behind the scenes.

Code of Ethics

I am a Member of the Association for Coaching (AC) and follow the Global Code of Ethics and Good Practice in all my coaching and group work.

You can read the AC Global Code of Ethics here: https://www.associationforcoaching.com/page/AboutCodeEthics

This includes clear commitments around confidentiality, boundaries, respect, competence and ongoing development.

Scope of Practice

My work focuses on:

  • high-functioning burnout

  • grief, loss, life disruption and identity

  • resilience and emotional capacity

  • behavioural science and habit-building

  • physical and emotional wellbeing

  • creativity and reflective practices

I offer coaching and educational support, not therapy, counselling or medical treatment.

Where I believe additional or different support would be more appropriate, I will discuss this with you and, where needed, signpost you to other services.

Supervision

To maintain good practice, I undertake regular professional supervision with an accredited coaching supervisor.

Client material may be discussed anonymously and hypothetically in supervision to protect your privacy while ensuring the quality and integrity of the work.

Business Insurance

All services delivered under the trading names “Sabrina Ahmed” and “Moving Forward After Loss” are provided by Open Introvert Ltd, which holds appropriate Professional Indemnity and Public / Professional Liability Insurance.

Evidence of insurance is available on request.
