Further, the professional Service is dependent on the information provided by the user to the MHP and maya does not promise any outcomes based on counselling and/or therapy. maya does not guarantee the availability of the same MHP over any period of time. From the moment at which you book your appointment, maya acts solely as an intermediary between you and the MHP, transmitting the details of your booking to you and to the MHP.
Counselling will take place at a frequency agreed between you and your MHP. We cannot guarantee that sessions will always take place with a particular frequency or on the same day of the week but will make every effort to meet your requirements.
Over the course of your agreement, the MHP might determine that online counselling or mental health Services are not appropriate for some or all of your mental health needs and accordingly may elect to not provide online counselling or mental health Services to you. Similarly, the MHP shall be at the liberty to decide that additional help is needed for the user and shall choose to bring in an additional MHP.

It is the responsibility of the MHP to ensure the accuracy and reliability of any information provided to maya or any user.
