Terms & Conditions

Agreeing to these terms

By using this website, enquiring, or attending a session, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not book a session.

What we provide

Feathers provides counselling, life coaching and training: one-to-one sessions for individuals, couples, families and students, and group training programmes for organisations, colleges and schools. Sessions run in Tamil or English, in person in Neyveli, Cuddalore, or online.

What we do not provide

This is the most important section on this page.

• We do not diagnose mental illness.
• We do not prescribe or advise on medication.
• We do not treat psychiatric or medical conditions.
• We are not an emergency or crisis service.

Mr. Chakkaravarthy RK is a Life Coach & Counselling Practitioner. He is not a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist and is not registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India. Our full position is on the Disclaimer & Confidentiality page.

If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. India-wide, free and open 24 hours: Tele-MANAS — 14416.

Who we can work with

You must be [18 / AGE] or older to book a session for yourself. Where a person under that age attends, a parent or lawful guardian must consent and [BE PRESENT / BE INVOLVED — describe how you actually work with minors].

We may decline or end an engagement where the need falls outside our scope of practice, where a person needs psychiatric or medical care instead, or where continuing would not be in that person's interest. In those cases we will explain why and, where we can, suggest where to go next.

Booking, rescheduling and cancellation

Sessions are arranged by WhatsApp, phone or email. A session is confirmed when we have agreed a specific day and time with you.

• To reschedule or cancel, give us at least [NOTICE PERIOD, e.g. 24 hours] notice.
• Cancelling with less notice, or not attending: [WHAT HAPPENS — e.g. the session is treated as held, or one late cancellation is allowed].
• If we have to reschedule, we will offer you another time at no additional cost.
• Arriving late shortens the session; it does not extend it.

Fees and payment

Fees are agreed with you before the first session. [STATE FEES, or state that fees are quoted on enquiry].

Payment is by UPI or bank transfer, arranged directly with us. This website does not take payments and never asks for card, UPI PIN or bank credentials. If any page appearing to be ours asks you for those, it is not us — please tell us.

Refunds: [REFUND TERMS — e.g. an unused prepaid session is refundable within X days; a session already held is not].

What we ask of you

• Be as honest with us as you can manage. The work depends on it.
• Attend sober and able to take part.
• Do not record a session, audio or video, without our written agreement. We will not record you without yours.
• For online sessions, join from somewhere private, on a connection that holds.
• Treat anything you learn about another participant in a group or family session as confidential.

No guarantee of outcome

We will bring proper care and attention to your work with us. We cannot and do not guarantee any particular result, timeframe, or improvement, and nothing on this website should be read as such a promise. Outcomes depend on many things outside anyone's control, including your own circumstances.

Online sessions

Online sessions depend on your internet connection and your device, which are yours to arrange. We are not responsible for a session interrupted by your connection, though we will always try to find a fair way to make up lost time.

We cannot guarantee the security of a third-party video platform. Please choose a private place to speak from.
