Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I know if I need therapy?

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a particular difficulty, such as anxiety, stress, or relationship concerns. At other times, there is simply a sense that something isn't quite working, even if it is difficult to explain. You don't need to be in crisis to begin therapy. Often, people reach out because they want to understand themselves, their relationships, or recurring patterns more deeply.

​

2. What issues can psychotherapy help with?

Psychotherapy can offer support across a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, life transitions, and questions of identity or self-worth.

Rather than focusing only on reducing symptoms, psychotherapy also creates space to understand the experiences, relationships, and patterns that may be shaping how life is lived in the present.

​

3. Is online therapy effective?

Yes. Online therapy can be just as meaningful and effective as meeting in person. Many people find that the consistency of the work, rather than the location, is what supports the therapeutic process.

We offer online psychotherapy for people across India and internationally.

​

4. Is it normal to cry during therapy sessions?

Yes. There is no right or expected way to be in therapy.

Some sessions may be emotional, while others may feel thoughtful or even uncertain. Therapy makes room for whatever is present, without expectation that emotions should appear in a particular way.

​

5. What are the first signs of stress?

Stress can take different forms for different people. It may show up as constant worry, difficulty concentrating, disturbed sleep, feeling emotionally stretched, irritability, or a sense that everyday life feels harder to manage than usual.

Rather than seeing stress only as something to eliminate, therapy can help explore what it may be connected to and how it is being experienced.

​

6. How long does therapy take to show results?

There isn't a fixed timeline.

Some people notice changes within a few sessions, while for others the work unfolds more gradually. The pace of therapy depends on what brings you, the kind of work you hope to do, and the questions that emerge over time.

Rather than aiming for quick solutions, psychotherapy often values lasting understanding and change.

​

7. Is everything discussed in therapy confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality is a fundamental part of psychotherapy and helps create a relationship where thoughts and experiences can be explored openly.

There are a small number of legal and ethical exceptions relating to safety, which will be discussed at the beginning of therapy.

​

8. What types of psychotherapy do you offer?

Our work is grounded in Psychodynamic and Relational psychotherapy, with a strong foundation in Group Analysis.

We work with individuals, couples, and groups, and our approach is attentive to the ways personal history, relationships, and the wider social and cultural context shape emotional life.

​

9. Can therapy help improve relationships?

Therapy can offer a space to better understand the ways we relate to ourselves and to others.

Together, we may begin to notice recurring patterns, misunderstandings, expectations, or ways of responding that have become familiar over time. As these become clearer, relationships often begin to shift in ways that feel more thoughtful and intentional.

​

10. How do I book a therapy session?

You can get in touch through the contact form on our website or by contacting us directly.

The first conversation is an opportunity to understand what brings you here, answer any questions you may have, and consider whether this way of working feels right for you.
