Questions people usually ask first
If something you're wondering about isn't here, ask me directly — no question is too small to bring.
I work eclectically, drawing on CBT, Humanistic Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and mindfulness-based practices. Rather than fitting you to one method, I adapt the approach to what you're bringing and what you're comfortable with.
Sessions run on a sliding scale of ₹500–₹1000. If you're earning, you choose anywhere in ₹800–₹1000 — whichever rate matches your financial situation, and there's no judgement either way. The ₹500 rate is reserved for students without an independent income, and it's funded by the people who choose to pay more.
Yes — all therapy and mentoring sessions are held online. Each session runs 45–50 minutes and is fully confidential.
I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology and am UGC NET-JRF and GATE qualified. I practise under professional supervision, which means my work is reviewed by a senior clinician — a safeguard for you.
I read it personally and reach out within 24–48 hours to talk about next steps and find a time. If scheduling is open, you can also book a slot directly while filling the form.
Yes. What you share stays between us, and is used only for your therapeutic care. The limits to this are the standard ones — situations where there's a serious risk of harm to you or someone else.

What actually happens in a first session
Most people are nervous before a first session, including people who have done this before. That is usually not a sign anything is wrong — it is what it feels like to talk to someone new about things that matter. Here is the hour, so it is one less unknown.
Before we start
You will have filled in the intake form. It is not a test you can get wrong — it exists so the first session does not start from zero.
The first ten minutes
Orientation, not your deepest trauma. How confidentiality works and where its limits are, how long and how often we meet, and room for anything you want to ask before getting into anything personal.
The middle
A conversation rather than a monologue you have to deliver well. Start wherever feels most pressing — you do not need the right words, or to begin at the beginning.
Toward the end
A loose plan for what to focus on next and how often to meet. Not a fixed number of sessions, and not a commitment you are locked into.
The longer version, including how people tend to feel afterwards:
⚠️ Important: These sessions are not crisis or emergency care. If you are experiencing severe distress, suicidal thoughts, or require emergency support, please seek immediate help.
