The agreement between us

1. What this is

7 Rays of Hope is the coaching practice of Rahul Jyoti Nath ("I", "me"). By booking a session, you agree to these terms.

2. What coaching is — and is not

I am a life coach and trained listener. I am not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, counsellor or medical professional, and nothing I offer is therapy, diagnosis or treatment.

Coaching sessions are conversations aimed at clarity, perspective and practical next steps. They are not a substitute for clinical mental-health care. If at any point I believe you need professional treatment, I will tell you plainly and encourage you to seek it. I am glad to work alongside a therapist; I will not work instead of one where one is needed.

Coaching is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, please contact emergency services or a helpline listed at /crisis-resources.

3. No guaranteed outcomes

I will bring my full attention, honesty and experience. I cannot promise a specific result — relationships, decisions and healing depend on many things outside a conversation. Any decision you make remains yours, and I will support you in it without pushing you towards leaving or staying.

4. Sessions

• Sessions are 60 minutes, held by WhatsApp voice or video call at an agreed time in IST (UTC+5:30) or a time we agree for your timezone.
• Please be somewhere private and free from interruption.
• If you are more than 15 minutes late without notice, the session may be shortened or treated as missed.
• Calls are never recorded by me. Please do not record them either.

5. Fees and payment

• Current prices are listed on /services in Indian rupees. Prices may change; the price at the time of booking applies.
• Payment is made by UPI or bank transfer to details I share on WhatsApp. Payment confirms the booking.
• Package sessions should be used within six months of payment unless we agree otherwise.

6. Rescheduling, cancellation and refunds

• You may reschedule any session free of charge with at least 24 hours' notice.
• With less than 24 hours' notice, or if you do not attend, the session may be counted as used. I will always use judgement — life happens.
• If I need to reschedule, I will offer a new time promptly. If we cannot find one, I will refund that session.
• Unused package sessions are refundable on request, less the standard single-session price for each session already held.

7. Confidentiality

What you share with me stays between us. I may keep brief private notes. I will break confidentiality only if I believe you or someone else is in immediate danger, or if required by law. See the privacy policy for details on data handling.

8. Your responsibilities

• You are 18 or older.
• You are responsible for your own decisions and actions, including any changes you choose to make in your relationships or life.
• You will treat me with the same respect I offer you. I may end a session or our work together if that is not the case.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, my liability to you in connection with any session or this website is limited to the fees you have paid me for the session(s) concerned. I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

10. Website content

Articles, guides and the self-assessment quiz are for general information and reflection only. They are not diagnostic tools and not a substitute for professional advice. All content is © Rahul Jyoti Nath. You may share links freely; please do not republish without permission.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Where possible, let us resolve any disagreement by talking first.

12. Changes

I may update these terms. The date at the top reflects the current version.
