Coaching Network Terms & Pilot Agreement

Join the Psyberanima Coaching NetworkA digital performance and cyberpsychology community connecting specialized coaches with people seeking mastery over their digital lives. We believe in science-backed strategies, collaboration, and ethical coaching.___________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Pilot Program
This is a pilot period to test the Psyberanima matching service. During these days:- No platform fees – You keep 100% of all session fees.
- No lead fees – Client introductions are free.
- No commitment – Either party can end participation with 7 days' notice.
Psyberanima is not responsible for collecting fees or resolving payment disputes between the Coach and the Client.
After the pilot: If both parties agree to continue, we will transition to a sustainable revenue-share or pay-per-lead model (designed to be highly competitive for the coaching industry). If you choose not to continue, you may continue seeing pilot clients privately.___________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Independent Practice
You work as an Independent Coach, not an employee. You manage your own schedule, client care, insurance, and tax obligations. You are responsible for ensuring your work aligns with your specific qualifications (e.g., MSc Cyberpsychology, ICF, BPS).___________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. How It Works
Client Introductions
Psyberanima matches you with potential clients who fit your profile and expertise. We will send you an email introduction with:
- Client’s first name and contact details.
- Their coaching goals (e.g., Digital Detox, Deep Work, Parental Strategy).
- Budget, availability, and preferences.
Your Response
You have 24 hours to respond (Mon–Fri). You may accept or decline any referral. If you accept, you contact the client directly to arrange a discovery call or session. If you decline, let us know so we can reroute them.
Session Delivery
You conduct sessions using your own platform (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.). You set your session fee and clients pay you directly using your preferred method. You keep 100% during the 90-day pilot.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Client Relationship (Pilot Period)
Clients introduced by Psyberanima remain linked to the service for 90 days from first introduction. You agree not to move these clients "off-platform" to a competing agency during this period without Psyberanima's consent.Why? This protects the integrity of the pilot data. After the pilot ends, if you choose not to continue with Psyberanima, you may keep these clients with no fee.___________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Professional Conduct & Scope of Practice (CRITICAL)
You agree to:- Stay in Your Lane: Deliver coaching and mentoring services, not clinical psychotherapy. You agree NOT to diagnose or treat severe mental health disorders (e.g., trauma, severe depression, addiction) unless you are dually qualified AND explicitly insured to do so independently outside of this agreement.
- Duty to Refer: If a client presents with clinical needs beyond coaching (e.g., suicidal ideation), you agree to refer them immediately to appropriate medical services (GP, NHS, Crisis Team).
- Ethical Standards: Adhere to the code of ethics relevant to your qualification (e.g., ICF, BPS, BACP Coaching Division).
-Maintain Insurance: Hold valid Professional Indemnity Insurance covering Coaching and Training.
Coaches must provide a copy of their valid Certificate of Insurance to Psyberanima prior to receiving their first client referral.
-Safeguarding & DBS: If you provide services to minors (under 18s) or vulnerable adults, you must hold a valid Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check issued within the last 3 years or be on the Update Service. You agree to report any safeguarding concerns immediately to Psyberanima’s Designated Safeguarding Lead at: [email protected]
-Age Verification: You must not engage with any client under the age of 13. For clients aged 13–17, you must verify that explicit parental or guardian consent has been obtained and documented via the Psyberanima onboarding process before the first session begins.
