CONFIDENTIALITY, SCOPE OF PRACTICE & TERMS OF USE

For U to Thrive Coaching & Consulting

Last updated: March 2026

Scope of Services

For U to Thrive Coaching & Consulting provides coaching and consulting services. These services are not therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, or legal advice, and are not a substitute for mental health treatment, regulated social work services, or legal representation. Coaching focuses on patterns, skills, and strategies to help you respond differently in challenging situations.

If, during our work together, it becomes clear that therapy, psychiatry, or legal advice would better serve your needs, I will recommend that you connect with a qualified professional in those areas.

No Professional Relationship

Visiting this website, reading its content, completing a form, or contacting us does not create a coaching, therapeutic, social work, or legal relationship. A professional relationship is only established through a signed service agreement between you and Djenane Douglas.

Confidentiality

Information you share in forms, emails, and sessions is treated as confidential. It will not be shared with others — including your co-parent or legal representatives — without your explicit written consent, except in specific situations required or permitted by law as outlined below.

Limits of Confidentiality

As a Registered Social Worker (RSW) regulated by the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW), Djenane Douglas is subject to professional and legal obligations. Confidentiality may be broken in the following circumstances:

  • Reasonable grounds to suspect a child is in need of protection under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act (Ontario)
  • Serious and imminent risk of harm to you or someone else
  • When records are required by law — for example, a court order or subpoena
  • When required by our regulatory body, the OCSWSSW
  • When professional consultation is necessary, in which case identifying details are minimized where possible

When feasible and safe, these concerns will be discussed with you and you will be informed of any steps required.

Communication and Technology

Coaching may be delivered via phone, email, or video platforms. While reasonable steps are taken to protect privacy, no online platform can be guaranteed 100% secure. By using these methods, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

Email and online forms should not be used for emergencies or crisis situations. If you are in crisis or need immediate help, contact your local crisis line, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency department. CAMH crisis line: 1-800-463-2338.
