BOOKING AND CANCELLATION POLICY
​​
Booking:
First session is booked over WhatsApp and subsequent ones at the end of every session. For any issues, I'm always available on email or WhatsApp.
​
Cancellation of appointment:
I would need a minimum 12 hours' notice for cancellation or rescheduling, in order for me to utilize that time constructively. Cancellations outside that window would incur a 15% charge we will end the session on time so as to not inconvenience the next client.
​
Payments:
Payment to be done before the session through UPI transfer
I also provide a sliding scale option for clients who are unable to pay the regular charges. There are limited slots and session numbers offered in the lower-cost fee category.
​
Contacting me:
I will not be available throughout the day for any queries. You can leave a message for me on WhatsApp or email, and I will get back whenever time permits. I will try my best to reply by end of day except on Sundays or holidays.
The required ethical relationship that a therapist can have with his/her client is strictly professional. Any other relationship, such as a business or personal relationship may prevent or undermine the effectiveness of the treatment itself. Hence, I do not connect with clients on any social media platforms other than my official Instagram page or WhatsApp number (8861609771), nor am I obligated to answer any personal questions that may take the focus away from the client's concerns.
​
IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES:
Please know that I may not be immediately available during emergencies. If you're experiencing intense emotional distress or feel unsafe, I encourage you to reach out to your emergency contact person/s for immediate support until we are able to connect for a session.
If the situation feels critical or involves risk to your safety or someone else’s, please seek help right away. Below are some helpful emergency resources in Bangalore and India:
