Coaching is not therapy, counselling, or medical care

The services offered by Reut Shalev through Shalev LLC ("I", "me", or "my") are life coaching. Coaching is a collaborative, forward-looking process designed to help you clarify what you want, recognise patterns, and take action in your life. It is not psychotherapy, psychological counselling, psychiatric care, medical treatment, or any other form of licensed healthcare, and it does not diagnose, treat, or cure any mental-health condition, illness, or disease.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and a master's degree in Art Therapy. I am not a licensed therapist, psychologist, physician, or mental-health professional, and I do not practise as one. My academic background informs how I listen and ask questions; it does not make our work together a clinical service.

Coaching is not a substitute for professional help. If you are experiencing significant emotional distress, a mental-health condition, substance dependence, trauma, or a medical concern, please consult a qualified, licensed professional. Where appropriate, coaching can complement such care, but it never replaces it.

If you are in crisis

If you are thinking about harming yourself or others, or are otherwise in immediate danger, do not use this website or wait for a coaching session. Contact your local emergency number or a crisis line right away. In the United States, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or dial 911. Elsewhere, search for your national crisis line.

Energetic and symbolic modalities

My work is also informed by mandala and symbolic practice, Emotion, Body and Belief Code training, and other energetic and consciousness-based modalities. These approaches are offered as tools for reflection and self-exploration. They are not recognised medical or psychological treatments, their effectiveness has not been evaluated by any medical regulatory authority, and no health claim is made or implied. Never stop, start, or change any medication or treatment on the basis of our work together without consulting your physician.

No guarantee of results

Coaching outcomes depend on many factors, most importantly your own engagement, honesty, and follow-through. I cannot and do not guarantee any particular result, transformation, decision, or outcome in your personal, professional, relational, or financial life. Any examples, stories, or testimonials on this website describe individual experiences and are not a promise of what you will experience.

Your responsibility

You are fully responsible for your own choices, actions, and results. Anything you decide to do, or not do, during or after our work together is your decision alone. I encourage you to seek independent professional advice (medical, legal, financial, or otherwise) before making significant decisions in those areas.
