Coaching Session Client Feedback Survey
Captures how clients experience individual coaching sessions — perceived progress, coach effectiveness across key behaviors, and likelihood to continue or recommend. An AI follow-up interview digs into the specific moment behind their recommendation score, surfacing what actually drove or undermined value in the session.
Sample questions
A preview of what’s in the template. Every question is editable before you launch.
Thinking about today's session, how much closer did you feel to achieving your goal by the end?
How much do you agree with each statement about your coach's approach in this session?
- Listened to my concerns without rushing
- Gave me clear, actionable steps
- Held me accountable to my previous commitments
- Adapted the session to what I actually needed
How likely are you to recommend this coach to a friend or colleague?
In the last 30 days, how often have you actually applied something from your coaching sessions in real life?
- Never
- Once
- A few times
- Almost daily
Rank these aspects of your coaching experience from most to least valuable to you right now.
- Goal-setting clarity
- Emotional support
- Practical tools or techniques
- Accountability check-ins
- New perspective or insight
How would you rate the structure and pacing of your sessions?
Probe the reasoning behind the respondent's recommendation score: ask them to describe a specific moment from this session that most shaped that number. If they rated any coaching behavior (listening, actionable steps, accountability, adaptability) low, anchor on that behavior and get a concrete example of where it fell short. If everything scored high, push for what would make the very next session even more valuable.
What's one thing your coach could do differently to make future sessions more valuable for you?
How long have you been working with this coach?
- Less than 1 month
- 1-3 months
- 3-6 months
- 6-12 months
- More than a year
- Prefer not to say
What type of coaching are you receiving?
- Career or executive coaching
- Life coaching
- Health or wellness coaching
- Performance or sports coaching
- Other
- Prefer not to say
That's everything — thank you! Your feedback goes directly to your coach (and their supervisor, if applicable) to help tailor future sessions to you.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes a dedicated AI follow-up interview that probes the specific reasoning behind the client's recommendation score, surfacing the actual moment that drove or undermined value — not just a static open-text box.
- Combines quantitative measures (opinion scale on progress, matrix on coach behaviors, ranking of valuable aspects, rating of session structure) with qualitative depth in one flow.
- Captures behavioral follow-through with a direct question on how often the client applied something from coaching in the last 30 days, plus tenure and coaching-type segmentation for cross-cutting analysis.
- Ends with a long-text improvement question and a transparent closing message telling clients their feedback goes to their coach, building trust in the process.
Jotform
Coaching Session Client Feedback Survey Form TemplateA directly comparable, fielding-ready template covering the same topic — coaching session feedback. It's a static form builder template, so all questions are fixed in advance with no adaptive follow-up based on individual answers.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for coaching feedback, so questions are topically aligned out of the box
- Drag-and-drop form customization typical of Jotform's builder
- Easy integration into Jotform's broader form ecosystem (payments, notifications, etc.)
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive AI probing into why a client gave a particular score
- No voice interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated analysis report
SurveySparrow
Coaching Session Client Feedback SurveyAlso a ready-to-use template on the exact same topic, filed under SurveySparrow's education category. Delivers a conversational-style survey format but relies on pre-set branching logic rather than true adaptive AI dialogue.
What it does well
- Conversational, chat-like UI that can feel more personal than a plain form
- Topic-specific template reduces setup time
- Supports standard branching/skip logic
Where it falls short
- No genuine AI-driven follow-up interview — logic is rule-based, not adaptive conversation
- No voice AI interview mode
- No transparent, inspectable AI prompts or automated quality scoring of responses
Typeform
Client Feedback Form TemplateA generic client feedback template, not specific to coaching sessions, so it would need manual rework to capture coach effectiveness, session pacing, or recommendation drivers. Still relevant as a general-purpose comparison for the client feedback use case.
What it does well
- Polished, well-known conversational form design
- Broad applicability across many client-facing businesses
- Simple to launch quickly for general feedback collection
Where it falls short
- Not tailored to coaching relationships — lacks built-in questions on coaching behaviors, session structure, or progress toward goals
- No adaptive AI interview to dig into the reasoning behind a score
- No automated quality scoring or auto-generated report specific to coaching outcomes
