In-person therapy in Palakkad, or online counselling across Kerala
In-person sessions take place in Palakkad. To protect everyone’s privacy, we share the location when your appointment is confirmed. Online sessions work the same way as in-person ones and suit people elsewhere in Kerala, in other parts of India, or anyone who prefers to talk from home.
Online counselling across India
Online sessions are available wherever you are in India, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Maharashtra, and in cities across Kerala such as Kochi, Thrissur, Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram. Sessions are available in English, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, so you can talk in the language you’re most comfortable with.
Mindfulness training in Kerala and online
Mindfulness training is available one-to-one or in small groups, in person in Palakkad or online, and can include practical CBT techniques for stress and anxiety.
Career and startup counselling
We also offer career counselling for students and graduates and counselling for startup founders and entrepreneurs.

Your first session
In your first session, we’ll talk about what has brought you here and what you’d like support with, and explain how sessions work, including confidentiality. You can ask questions and decide whether you’d like to continue. Sessions cost ₹3,000 each and are available in English, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi and Telugu.
