Terms and Conditions – Burnout Report

Thank you for your interest in working together. Please read this information carefully. Once  purchase has been made these terms form a legal binding agreement between us.

This Agreement, hereinafter referred to as “the Agreement,” is made between Seldom Seen Ltd t/a Karen Taylor Coaching & Strategy whose trading office is at 1 Firgrove Walk, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, GL51 6PJ (“the Coach’) and you (“the Client’) together referred to as the “Parties” and is providing a personalised burnout self-assessment report via a Coach and Client Relationship (“the Relationship).

The purpose of this Agreement is to set out the details about working together so that we both are clear as to what each of our respective roles are and how our communication will take place to ensure our time together will be positive, productive, and respectful.

SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL – DISCLAIMER – It should be noted that the questions used within the questionnaire are based and derived from from the Sydney Burnout Measure (Parker, G. Travella G, Eyers, K, 2021) and the score results will provide you with a severity scale indicating the level of burnout you might be experiencing. The personal reports provide additional insights, however please note this measure is for informational purposes only and is not a diagnostic tool. The results do not definitely diagnose burnout as it exists on a spectrum and even lower scores could still suggest the presence of burnout symptoms that require attention. Conversely, a higher score may point to significant burnout, but other underlying health conditions could also contribute to the symptoms.

This self-assessment tool is for self-reflection to develop a personalised well-being plan to address root causes regardless of where you fall on the scale, however it does NOT replace or involve the the provision of any medical, psychological, financial or healthcare advice or services and if you are concerned about your results or the symptoms you are experiencing you are strongly recommended to seek the advice of a qualified medical practitioner, health professional, or other relevant competent medical professional.
