Online counselling & therapy in India

Q: Is online counselling as effective as in-person?

Research shows online therapy is effective for many concerns, including anxiety and depression. Many people find it easier to open up from home.

Yes. Your sessions are private. Information is only shared if there is a serious risk to your safety or someone else's, as required by law.

Q: How do I book a session?

Tap any 'Talk to a counsellor' button or message us on WhatsApp. Our team will match you with a counsellor and confirm a time.

Q: Which service is right for me?

Choose the area closest to what you're facing — relationships, cancer or grief, work stress, new parenthood, or support for a young person. Not sure? Message us and we'll guide you.

Q: Is this a crisis service?

No. If you are in immediate danger or thinking of harming yourself, please call your local emergency number or the Tele-MANAS helpline at 14416 right away.
