Homepage – Participant Consent Form
The Empathy Place provides an online safe space where individuals can engage in authentic conversations about real-life experiences, emotional wellbeing, and personal growth. These sessions are facilitated by an entological coach and a psychologist licensed by the Ministry of Health (Kenya). They are designed for wellness, reflection, and self-awareness — not as formal psychotherapy, counselling, or clinical diagnosis.
Each session lasts approximately one (1) hour and is conducted virtually via Microsoft Teams or a similar online platform. Participation is voluntary, and participants may choose to withdraw at any time without explanation or penalty. The facilitators will guide the conversation in a reflective and supportive manner, but no medical, psychiatric, or diagnostic services will be provided. The session link will be shared only after full payment has been received to confirm attendance and reserve your spot.
All discussions are regarded as strictly confidential. Participants are encouraged to use first names only or pseudonyms to maintain privacy. Recording, screenshots, or distribution of any part of the session is strictly prohibited without prior written consent from all participants and facilitators. Facilitators may use general, non-identifiable reflections for awareness, research, or training purposes, but no personal details will be disclosed.
The Empathy Place is not a substitute for therapy, mental health treatment, or crisis intervention. Should a participant display signs requiring professional support, facilitators may recommend referral to a qualified mental health provider.
