Disclaimer

This Disclaimer governs the use of this website and all services offered by Ms. Rakshanda Sirohi, RCI Licensed Clinical Psychologist (A), CRR No. A114023. By accessing this website, engaging in services, or viewing any content, you agree to the terms outlined below.

1. Not a Substitute for Emergency or Crisis Support

If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm, harm to others, severe distress, or a medical emergency, please immediately contact:

• Your local emergency number (Police: 100, Ambulance: 102)
• A suicide prevention helpline (e.g., AASRA: 9820466726, Vandrevala Foundation: 1860-2662-345)
• Nearby hospital or crisis intervention centre

This website is NOT monitored 24/7 and cannot provide immediate crisis intervention.

2. General Information Only

The content on this website, including articles, blogs, videos, and resources, is for general educational purposes.

It is NOT:

• Psychological advice
• Medical advice
• Diagnostic information
• A substitute for therapy or professional evaluation

Information should not be used to self-diagnose or make treatment decisions without consulting a qualified professional.

3. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process.

Progress depends on multiple factors, including:

• Individual history
• Severity of concerns
• Client engagement
• Consistency of sessions
• Life circumstances

Therefore, no outcome, timeline, cure, or improvement can be guaranteed. Each person's therapeutic journey is unique.

4. Limits of Confidentiality with Online Communication

While confidentiality is maintained in sessions, communication through:

• Email
• WhatsApp
• Social media
• Website contact forms

may carry technological limitations.

Sensitive information should ideally be shared only during therapy sessions.

5. Teletherapy Limitations

Online therapy relies on technology and internet connectivity, which may occasionally affect:

• Audio/video quality
• Privacy
• Session continuity

Clients are responsible for ensuring a private, safe, and quiet environment during online sessions.

6. No Therapist-Client Relationship Through Website

Visiting this website, reading content, or sending an inquiry does NOT establish a therapist-client relationship.

A professional relationship begins only after:

• A formal appointment is scheduled,
• Consent is taken,
• And therapy begins.

7. Not a Medical or Psychiatric Service

This website does not provide:

• Medical diagnosis
• Medication prescriptions
• Emergency psychiatric support

Any reference to clinical issues should be understood within the context of psychological therapy, not medical treatment.

These are provided for convenience only.

Ms. Rakshanda Sirohi does NOT endorse, guarantee, or take responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, or safety of any third-party content.
