Disclaimer

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read this page. It explains, in plain language, what the content and services on this website are (and aren't), so you can engage with everything here feeling informed and safe.

This website is operated by Usha Raman, trading as Nexus Training Group, based in Perth, Western Australia. Throughout this page, "I", "me" and "my" refer to Usha Raman and Nexus Training Group.

Educational purposes only

All content on this website, including blog articles, guides, worksheets, guided meditations and practices, emails and any other resources, is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It reflects my experience and training as a life coach, along with published research where cited.

Nothing on this site constitutes medical, psychological, psychiatric, legal, financial, relationship or other professional advice, and no claim to medical diagnosis, treatment, or the cure of any medical or mental health condition is made or implied.

Not a substitute for professional care

The information on this website should not be used as a substitute for examination, diagnosis or treatment by a qualified professional. Please consult your GP or another licensed health care provider for any physical or mental health ailment or concern you may have, and before making changes based on anything you read here.

Coaching is not therapy

Life coaching is a forward-focused, growth-oriented process. It is not psychotherapy, counselling or medical treatment, and it is not appropriate as the sole support for acute mental health conditions. If we work together and it becomes clear that another form of support would serve you better, I will always say so.

No coaching relationship is formed by reading

Reading this website, downloading a resource, subscribing to my emails or sending me a message does not make you my client and does not create a coaching relationship between us. A coaching relationship begins only when we have both agreed to work together and the terms of that engagement have been confirmed.

Reflective practices and exercises

Some articles and resources on this site include reflective or mindfulness-based exercises. Everyone responds differently to this kind of inner work, and occasionally it can bring up strong emotions or feel triggering. Please approach these practices gently, stop if something feels like too much, and seek support from a qualified professional if you need it.

By choosing to use these exercises, you accept responsibility for your own experience and wellbeing. To the fullest extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, Usha Raman and Nexus Training Group are not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of them. Nothing on this page excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be excluded.

Individual results

Every person's circumstances, history and pace of growth are unique. While I share tools and research that many people find helpful, no specific outcome or result can be guaranteed.

Testimonials on this website reflect the genuine experiences of individual clients. They are shared with permission and are not a promise that you will experience the same results.

Third-party links and resources

This website may link to books, research papers, apps, events and other websites that I have found valuable. These links are provided for your convenience. I don't control third-party content and am not responsible for its accuracy, availability or any dealings you have with third parties. A link is not an endorsement unless I say so explicitly.

If I ever receive a commission or other benefit from a link or recommendation, I will say so clearly alongside it.

Changes to this disclaimer

I may update this page from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last revised, and the current version always applies.
