How confidential is therapy at AMHS?

Confidentiality is one of the most important foundations of therapy. At AMHS, the same strict privacy principles apply whether you're in an online or in-person session. In general: • what you share in session stays private • your personal details are not shared with family, employer, or anyone else without your clear consent • notes (if maintained) are kept securely and used only for clinical continuity • therapists follow ethical guidelines outlined by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) and relevant professional bodies The only common exceptions are safety-related situations, such as: • immediate risk of serious harm to self or someone else • legal requirements (rare, and handled carefully) • suspected abuse where reporting is mandated by law For best privacy in online sessions, we recommend: • using headphones • sitting in a private room • avoiding public Wi-Fi • informing your therapist if someone else can overhear If you have a specific concern (family privacy, shared phone, partner nearby), tell your therapist—we can adjust the session setup and communication methods to protect your confidentiality.
