About this service

Individual counselling gives you a calm, judgement-free room to understand what you are feeling and why. Sessions are a conversation shaped around your pace — never a lecture, never a rush. Whether something specific has happened or life simply feels heavier than it should, this is a place to put it down and think it through with someone experienced beside you.

Who it may help

  • You feel anxious, low or overwhelmed and want to understand it
  • You are navigating a big change — a move, a loss, a new chapter
  • You keep doubting yourself or feel stuck in the same patterns
  • You want a confidential space that is entirely your own

Our approach & your first session

Dr. Nayyar draws on cognitive, behavioural and relaxation-based approaches, always adapted to you rather than applied from a manual. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most to you; later ones build practical tools you can use between appointments. You set the pace, and nothing is pushed on you.

What to expect first time

Your first session is a gentle conversation — a chance to talk about what brought you here and what you'd like to feel differently. There's no pressure to share more than you're ready to, and by the end you'll have a sense of how working together might help.

Online & in-person availability

This service is available in person in New Delhi and online by video. You can choose whichever suits you, or switch between the two as your week allows. Sessions are led by Dr. Anjuman Nayyar, a counselling psychologist with over 35 years' experience.

You might find this helpful if…

You don't need to tick every box — if a few of these feel familiar, it's worth a conversation.

Your mind won't switch off at night
You feel low or flat for weeks at a time
You're always the strong one for everyone else
Small things feel overwhelming
You keep second-guessing your decisions
A big change has left you unsettled

“Most people who walk in say: I don't even know where to start. That's perfectly fine. We start wherever you are.”

Dr. Anjuman Nayyar, Psychologist

Common questions

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit. If something has been affecting your sleep, mood, relationships or work, that is reason enough to talk. A first conversation helps you decide whether it feels like the right fit, with no obligation to continue.

The first session is a gentle conversation about what brought you here and what you'd like to feel differently. There are no forms to rush through and no pressure to share more than you're ready to. By the end you'll have a sense of how working together might help.

Yes. Online sessions by video work well for most people and are available alongside in-person sessions in New Delhi. You can also switch between the two as suits your week.

This varies from person to person and is reviewed together as you go. Some people come for a few focused sessions; others value longer-term support. There is no fixed package you have to commit to.

What you share stays private. The limited exceptions — such as a serious risk to someone's safety — are explained clearly at the start so you always know where you stand.

Just come as you are. If it helps, jot down a few things that have been on your mind beforehand, but that's entirely optional.

Session length, fees and availability are discussed on your first call so everything is clear before you book. Appointments are by arrangement, Monday to Saturday.
