At a glance

Our Indira Nagar clinic is no longer seeing patients. All in-person sessions are now held at the Krishna Nagar clinic, near Alambagh, and in-person times are arranged with our team on WhatsApp. Every clinician also sees clients online, so you can start online and come in later, or the other way round.

Why a clinical psychologist?

In India, “therapist” and “counsellor” are not protected titles. A clinical psychologist has completed an RCI-recognised professional qualification in clinical psychology and must be registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) to practise. That training covers diagnosis, psychological testing and structured treatments such as CBT. You can check any psychologist’s registration number on the RCI’s official register before you book. For the difference between the professions, read psychiatrist, clinical psychologist or counselling psychologist?
