Session Guidelines & Policies

At The Gentle Space, I believe that therapy works best when there is clarity, respect, and mutual understanding. Please take a moment to go through the following details that will guide our work together.

Session Details

Duration: 50–60 minutes
Mode: Online via Google Meet or Zoom
Fee: ₹2000/- per session for Domestic clients & ₹2800/- per session (for International clients
Payment: Payment details will be shared with you upon scheduling. To confirm your slot, please complete the payment before the session.

Confidentiality

Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy and your right. What you share during our sessions will be treated with the highest respect and care.

I will not disclose your identity or session content without your permission.
At times, I may consult with my supervisor for professional guidance, but your personal details will not be revealed.
Exceptions to confidentiality exist when:
1. There is a risk of harm to yourself.
2. You express an intention to harm someone else.
3. There is a risk of harm to a child or vulnerable adult.

In such situations, I will always try to discuss with you first and, if needed, involve your trusted emergency contact. If you are under 18, I may involve your parents/caregivers in conversations about your therapy journey while protecting the privacy of session details.

Rights & Boundaries

You are encouraged to ask questions and share your reflections about therapy at any point.
You may contact me via email or message between 10 AM – 7 PM IST for non-urgent matters. I will acknowledge your message, but in most cases, we will explore your concerns more fully in our sessions.
Please note: I do not provide emergency services. Therapy is best suited for ongoing support, not crisis management.

Emergency Services

If you are in immediate crisis or need urgent help, please reach out to your local emergency services or helplines.

Sliding Scale Slots

I understand that financial circumstances vary, and I want therapy to remain accessible. To support this, I offer a limited number of sliding scale slots each month at a reduced fee.
- These slots are reserved for individuals who may not be able to afford the standard session fee.
- Availability is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
- If you’d like to explore this option, please mention it when you reach out. Together, we can see if a slot is currently open and determine a fee that works within your means.

My goal is to create a safe, respectful, and supportive therapeutic space where you feel heard and understood.
