FAQs

One may need counselling in order to coping with a distressing experience. People struggling with depression, anxiety disorders, phobias, addiction, PTSD, ADHD etc. may seek therapy to treat the problem or learn healthy coping mechanisms. Most of the time mental health disorders are treated medically in conjunction with therapy.

Going through challenges is a normal life experience however there comes a point where it begins to affect your life and derails you from your life plans. You don’t have to go through it on your own, seek help.

This is based on the severity of the distress that one may be experiencing. This is a recommendation that will be made by your therapist based on their professional assessment and the feedback provided by you in the counselling sessions.

Even though most people prefer face to face consultations, there are also online platforms designed to deliver online counselling and psychotherapy. You may contact us for more information on this.
