Do you offer online counselling sessions, and are they available in the Malayalam language?

Yes. We provide secure, confidential Online Counselling sessions accessible from anywhere. Our services are primarily offered in the Malayalam language, both online and at our clinic in Kottayam, Kerala. This ensures comfort and clarity for clients who prefer native language support.

What types of assessments and therapies are available for children with developmental or learning difficulties?

We offer comprehensive services for children, including IQ Assessment, Autism Test, and evaluations for Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia, ADHD). Our therapeutic interventions include Behaviour Therapy, Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Special Education, all tailored to the child’s unique needs.

How do I know if I need a Psychiatric Consultation or just regular Counselling/Psychotherapy?

Absolutely. Our Couples & Relationship Therapy services cover a wide range of needs, including Premarital Counselling to prepare for marriage, support for relationship issues, family conflicts, and even guidance for topics like second marriage counselling. We aim to improve communication and strengthen emotional bonds.
