Coaching Programs
Coaching is designed as a focused, time-bound experience that gives children the opportunity to learn and practice new skills over time.
For many children, meaningful change comes through consistency—not in a single session, but through repeated practice and support as they begin applying what they learn in their daily lives.
How Programs Are Structured
Coaching is offered through private 1:1 sessions, allowing for personalized support based on your child’s needs.
The 5-week program provides a clear, structured approach that helps children build and practice new skills over time.
Program details and investment are discussed during your Parent Clarity Call, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and feel confident about the next step.
Payment & Registration
Program payment is required at the time of registration to secure your child’s place.
Payment can be made in full at registration, or in two parts, with half due at registration and the remaining balance due midway through the program.
Your child’s spot is confirmed once registration is complete.
Receipts for coaching services are provided for your records.
Refund Policy
Program fees are non-refundable once registration is confirmed, as session time is reserved specifically for your child.
In exceptional circumstances, a credit toward a future coaching program may be considered at the discretion of Shine Bright Counselling & Coaching Services.
Cancellation Policy
Clear scheduling guidelines help sessions run smoothly and respectfully for all families.
1:1 Coaching Sessions
As session times are reserved in advance, the following notice is required to reschedule:
In-person sessions
A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required.
Online sessions
A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required.
Each program includes one rescheduled session when the appropriate notice is provided.
Sessions cancelled with less than the required notice—or additional missed sessions beyond the one reschedule—are not eligible for make-up.
Small Group Coaching Programs
If your child is unable to attend a group session, 24 hours’ notice is appreciated.
Group programs run as scheduled, and missed sessions are not eligible for rescheduling or refund.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if coaching is right for my child?
During your free 30-minute Parent Clarity Call, we’ll talk about your child, what you’re noticing, and what you’d like support with. From there, we’ll determine whether coaching is a good fit.
Is this therapy?
No. Shine Bright is a coaching practice focused on helping children build practical skills they can use in daily life.
Coaching does not involve diagnosis or clinical treatment. It is best suited for children who are generally doing well but would benefit from additional support and guidance.
Is coaching covered by insurance?
Coaching services are not covered by extended health benefit plans, and receipts for insurance reimbursement are not provided.
Are sessions offered in person or online?
Sessions are primarily offered in person to support connection and engagement. Private 1:1 coaching may also be offered online when appropriate or preferred.
Can my child continue after the program?
Yes. Some families choose to continue with additional coaching after completing the initial program if further support would be helpful.
Will I receive updates as a parent?
Yes. Parents receive brief updates and practical suggestions to help reinforce what children are learning. Coaching is most effective when parents understand and support the tools their child is developing.
What if my child is experiencing more significant challenges?
If your child would benefit from clinical assessment or mental health support, coaching may not be the most appropriate option. This can be discussed during your Parent Clarity Call to help ensure your child receives the right type of support.
Still Have Questions?
If you’re unsure whether coaching is the right fit, I’d be happy to answer your questions and help you decide on the next step.
