Family and relationship counselling, online and in person

When something is hard for one person in a family, everyone tends to feel it. Arguments repeat, people stop listening, or a big change puts pressure on everyone.

Family and relationship counselling gives you a calm, confidential space to talk about what is happening, understand each other better and find a way forward together.

Who it can help

I work with couples, parents and adult children, and other family members together, as well as with one person who wants to improve a relationship. You might be dealing with:

  • Frequent arguments or communication that has broken down
  • Trust, distance or disagreement in a relationship
  • Different expectations between generations
  • Changes such as marriage, a new baby or children leaving home
  • Caring for an older parent and sharing responsibilities

What we can work on together

  • Understanding how each person sees the situation
  • Listening and speaking in ways that help
  • Noticing patterns that keep arguments going
  • Agreeing practical changes everyone can live with

Sessions and fees

Sessions can include one, two or several family members, online or in person in Palakkad, in English, Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi or Telugu. Fees are ₹3,000 per session. Sessions are with me, Varada, a counselling psychologist and member of the British Psychological Society. Read more about me.

Can family members join from different places?

Yes. Online sessions let people join from different towns or countries.

Are sessions confidential?

Yes, within limits I’ll explain at your first appointment, such as a serious risk of harm to you or someone else.
