Services

Counselling and guidance, shaped around you

Every person arrives with something different. These are the areas I most often work in, but you don't need to place yourself in a category before reaching out — we can start with whatever feels most pressing and find the right shape together.

Every session — a safe space to be heard, understood, and supported.

  • 50 minutes per session
  • Online, on Google Meet
  • ₹1000 per session
  • Sessions between 10 AM – 6 PM

Individual Counselling

One-to-one sessions where the conversation follows you. We look at what feels heavy right now — anxiety, exhaustion, loneliness, the sense of not being heard — what has been building up over time, and what you would like to feel differently. There is no fixed script and nothing you need to prepare beforehand.

This may suit you if

  • You feel overwhelmed and want somewhere private to think out loud
  • You feel lonely, or unheard by the people around you
  • You are going through a difficult phase and need steady support

Stress & Anxiety Support

We work on what anxiety and stress are doing to your days — the racing thoughts, the disturbed sleep, the tightness that does not lift. Alongside space to talk, you take away simple, practical ways of steadying yourself that fit into an already full life.

This may suit you if

  • Anxiety or worry that keeps returning even when things are fine
  • Difficulty switching off after work or study
  • Feeling on edge, restless, or easily exhausted

Relationship & Family Guidance

Relationships hold some of our most difficult conversations. We look at the patterns that repeat, the hurt of feeling abandoned or taken for granted, what makes honest communication hard, and how to set boundaries that protect the relationship rather than end it.

This may suit you if

  • Recurring conflict or distance with a partner or family member
  • Feeling abandoned, rejected, or left out by someone close
  • Difficulty saying no or asking for what you need

Student Mental Wellbeing

For students carrying pressure from every direction. We work through examination stress, procrastination and self-doubt, and the effect of bullying or unkindness at school or college — so you feel steadier in yourself and less alone with it.

This may suit you if

  • Examination pressure and the fear of falling behind
  • Bullying, teasing, or feeling unsafe among peers
  • Low confidence, self-doubt, or difficulty speaking up

Emotional Wellbeing

Sometimes there is no single problem to name — only loneliness, a sense of being stuck or flat, or the doubt that you could ever put what you feel into words. These sessions give that feeling room, and help you find small, workable ways back towards steadiness.

This may suit you if

  • Feeling lonely, low, or unlike yourself
  • Doubting your ability to express what you feel
  • Carrying something you have never said out loud

Parent–Child Connection

Parenting asks a great deal and rarely leaves room to talk about how you are doing. We look at the conflict at home, a child who has grown quiet or is being bullied, the guilt that follows a hard day, and ways of responding that feel firm and kind at once.

This may suit you if

  • Frequent conflict or distance between you and your child
  • A child who has withdrawn, or who is being bullied
  • Guilt, exhaustion, or feeling you are getting it wrong

Old Age Connection

Later years can bring quieter kinds of difficulty — days that feel empty, the loss of people and roles that mattered, worry about health, or the feeling of being set aside by your own family. These sessions offer unhurried company and a place for all of it.

This may suit you if

  • Long, lonely days with little company
  • Grief, or adjusting to life after a loss or retirement
  • Feeling overlooked, dependent, or a burden to family

Approaches

Trained in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, with a personalised focus on every individual.

Explained plainly, never as jargon.

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT)

    Noticing the thought patterns that quietly keep anxiety, stress or low mood going — and learning to question them.

  • Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy(REBT)

    Loosening rigid beliefs like “I must never fail” or “everyone has to approve of me” that make everyday life feel heavier.

  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills(DBT)

    Practical skills for overwhelming moments: riding out distress, steadying strong emotions, staying grounded.

  • Gestalt approach

    Staying with what is happening right now — what you feel in this moment, rather than only the story around it.

  • Behavioural approaches

    Small, doable changes in what you do day to day, so the way you feel has room to shift too.

Not sure which one fits?

That's completely alright. Write a line about what you're going through and we'll work it out in the first session.
