Last updated: 15/01/2026

This website and any programs, trainings, sessions, videos, written materials, exercises, and communications provided by Martin Rothery / martinrothery.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) are offered for educational and informational purposes and/or as professional formation for practitioners, unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.

Please read this disclaimer carefully.

1) Not medical, psychiatric, or emergency care

Nothing on this site or within our programs is intended to be, or should be interpreted as:

  • medical advice
  • psychiatric advice
  • psychological diagnosis
  • psychotherapy within a regulated framework (unless explicitly stated and contractually agreed)
  • crisis or emergency support

We do not provide emergency services. If you are in crisis or believe you may be at risk of harming yourself or others, stop and seek immediate help:

  • Call your local emergency number (e.g., 112 / 999 / 911, depending on your country)
  • Go to your nearest emergency department
  • Contact a local crisis hotline or mental health service

If you are in the UK & ROI, you can contact Samaritans (24/7) at 116 123 (UK) or visit their website. If you are outside the UK, use a local crisis service in your country.

2) Not a substitute for professional healthcare

Our work is not a substitute for advice, diagnosis, or treatment provided by qualified healthcare professionals.

Always seek the advice of your GP/physician, therapist, psychiatrist, or other qualified provider regarding any medical or mental health condition. Never disregard professional advice because of something you have read, watched, or experienced through this site or our programs.

3) Scope of the work

Our programs may address topics such as mindset, emotion, identity, nervous system patterns, internal attention, belief structures, and personal change. Some materials may discuss pain, anxiety, stress, or psychological patterns.

Any such discussion is provided within the scope of education, training, and personal development / practitioner formation, and should not be interpreted as medical diagnosis or treatment.

4) Individual results vary

Outcomes vary significantly between individuals. We do not guarantee results, improvements, or specific outcomes of any kind.

Any examples, case references, or descriptions of change are not promises or guarantees.

5) Personal responsibility and suitability

By using this site or enrolling in any program, you acknowledge:

  • You are responsible for your own wellbeing and decisions
  • You will use discretion and proceed at an appropriate pace
  • You will seek professional help when needed
  • You will not use this work as a replacement for appropriate care

If you have a medical condition, are under psychiatric care, are taking prescribed medication, or have any concern about your suitability for intensive inner work, consult a qualified professional before participating.

6) Contraindications and caution

Some forms of deep inner work may be inappropriate for certain individuals or circumstances, including (but not limited to):

  • acute psychosis, mania, or severe dissociation
  • severe or destabilising trauma responses
  • active suicidal ideation
  • situations where immediate clinical support is required

If you are unsure, do not rely on this site to decide. Consult a qualified clinician.

7) Practitioner training and certification clarification

Our system offers training and certification within our own framework.

  • Certification of Completion indicates completion of training requirements.
  • Certain realms also provide Certification to Practice with Clients within defined scope and boundaries.

Our certifications:

  • do not replace licensure or regulated qualifications
  • do not grant universal authority to diagnose or treat mental health disorders
  • do not override local laws or professional regulations

If you practice with clients, you are responsible for compliance with the laws, licensing requirements, and ethical standards in your jurisdiction.

8) No client–provider relationship by default

Accessing this website, purchasing a program, or receiving training materials does not create a doctor–patient, therapist–client, or clinical relationship by default.

Any direct work (if offered) will be defined by separate written terms that clarify scope, boundaries, and responsibilities.

9) Third-party content and links

This site may link to third-party websites, platforms, or embedded content (e.g., YouTube, payment processors). We are not responsible for third-party content, services, or privacy practices.

10) Contact

If you have questions about this disclaimer, contact: [privacy@martinrothery.com] (or your preferred contact email).

If you are in crisis or need immediate support, contact local emergency services. This site is not an emergency service.
