Terms & Conditions
Last updated: August 2026
By using this website or engaging with the services offered through it, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms.
About the Services
This website provides information about counselling, guided meditation programs, and related educational content offered by Dr. Gunjarika Ranka.
Information provided on this website is intended to help you understand the available services and is not, by itself, a substitute for individual psychological assessment, counselling, psychotherapy, medical care, or emergency support.
Counselling Sessions
Counselling sessions are provided online and are scheduled by mutual agreement.
The nature, frequency, and continuation of counselling may vary according to individual needs. A counselling relationship begins only after a session has been mutually agreed upon and the required intake and payment process has been completed.
Participation in counselling does not guarantee a particular outcome. Psychological and emotional change varies from person to person and depends on many individual and contextual factors.
Online Sessions
Online services depend on internet connectivity and the functioning of third-party communication platforms.
Clients are responsible for arranging a reasonably private environment and suitable internet connection for their sessions.
Technical interruptions may occasionally occur. Where a significant disruption prevents a session from continuing, reasonable efforts will be made to reschedule or otherwise address the interrupted session.
Meditation Programs
Meditation programs are offered as guided practices intended to support mindfulness, awareness, regularity, and personal well-being.
Meditation sessions and complimentary guidance/support sessions included with meditation membership are not a substitute for counselling, psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment, or medical care where these may be required.
Program schedules, formats, timings, and availability may occasionally be modified when necessary. Participants will be informed of material changes where reasonably possible.
Fees and Payments
Current fees are displayed on the relevant service pages or communicated before registration.
Payment is required according to the terms communicated for the selected service. A session or program registration is considered confirmed once the applicable booking requirements have been completed.
Fees may be revised from time to time. Any revised fee will apply as communicated at the time of booking or renewal.
Cancellation, rescheduling, and refund matters are governed by the separate Refund & Cancellation Policy available on this website.
Appointments and Scheduling
Session times are mutually agreed upon and are subject to availability.
Clients are requested to join online sessions at the scheduled time. Late arrival does not ordinarily extend the scheduled end time of a session.
If a session needs to be cancelled or rescheduled, the applicable Refund & Cancellation Policy will apply.
Communication
WhatsApp and email may be used for enquiries, scheduling, registration information, and other administrative communication.
These channels should not be relied upon for urgent psychological support or emergency assistance. Detailed therapeutic work is intended to take place within scheduled counselling sessions rather than through routine messaging.
Emergencies and Crisis Situations
The services offered through this website are not emergency or crisis services and should not be relied upon for immediate intervention.
If you believe that you or another person is in immediate danger or requires urgent medical or psychiatric assistance, please contact the appropriate local emergency or healthcare service.
Educational Content
Articles, blog posts, meditation information, and other materials published on this website are provided for general informational and educational purposes.
They should not be interpreted as an individual diagnosis, treatment recommendation, or professional opinion regarding a specific person’s circumstances.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, original written material and other original content published on this website belong to Dr. Gunjarika Ranka and may not be reproduced, republished, distributed, or commercially used without permission.
Brief quotations or references may be used with appropriate attribution where permitted by applicable law.
Third-Party Services and Links
The website and services may use or link to third-party platforms such as communication, video-conferencing, payment, social media, or external website services.
Use of those services may also be subject to their own terms, privacy policies, and technical limitations.
Privacy
Use of personal information is addressed in the separate Privacy Policy published on this website.
Changes to These Terms
These Terms & Conditions may be updated when services, policies, website functionality, or applicable requirements change. The latest version published on this page will apply.
