Both professionals often deal with similar mental health problems; however the focus of treatment tends to be different. Psychiatrists are medical doctors with M.D. in Psychiatry or Diploma in Psychological Medicine (DPM) and are recognized to prescribe medicines, specializing in the treatment of mental disorders.

A professional counselor is a psychologist who has the ability to define problems and identify the barriers that prevent them from thinking clearly. The counselor throws light on those barriers and works with the individual’s mental health by working on the thoughts, emotions and behaviour to develop proactive and objective solutions to problems.

8. Can you provide Phone/Audio Counselling and Chat Counselling?

Phone counseling helps the individual to get of mental distress that bothers them quickly. Phone counseling is useful to connect with counsellor when the client has network connectivity issue.

Telephone counseling gives you complete control over your environment. You could be relaxing on the sofa, sitting out in your garden, or even having a walk in the park as you speak to your counsellor over the phone. All this can create a better atmosphere for you to engage more completely in therapy.

Whatsapp Chat consultation is provided for the clients who booked multiple sessions as a package. WhatsApp Chat consultation preferably used for followup and quick connect with the Counselor / Therapist post Counseling sessions. Minimum charges apply. It helps an individual to get rid of unnecessary anxiety till next session.

9. Will the counselor meet people having psychological disorder?

If there is no diagnosis of any severe psychological disorder, Counseling / Therapy will surely help you to bounce back within a single or 3 sessions

10. How many sessions will be required to help me?

Number of sessions required is based on various factors such as severity and onset of the issue; depends on client’s motivation, involvement and engagement. When we assessed all of them and give an approximate number of sessions required in the past, some clients took it like we unnecessarily ask them to come for many sessions. So we stopped suggesting on number of sessions required and we leave it to the discretion of the client. Client may choose to book appointment when he/she wants a session.

We never tell the clients to book many slots in advance. During the first counseling session, we may discuss on how many sessions required / whether the next session is required / or not and client can choose to book or leave it.

11. How soon will I experience recovery / results?

If there is no diagnosis of any severe psychological disorder, Counseling / Therapy will surely help you to bounce back within a single or 3 sessions.

If you have been diagnosed to have disorders such as Schizophrenia/Bi-Polar Disorder/Personality Disorder by a clinical psychologist, Counseling / Therapy sessions will help with regular medication from a Licensed mental health officer.

The individuals who voluntarily booked for therapy sessions on their own with open mindedness benefit the most; who opt for holistic integrated therapy approach; experience Holistic transformation. Commitment on the part of the client and their families along with counseling professional bring greater results.

12. As a family member or parent or Spouse, will I be updated about what happened in the session?

Counselor / Therapist will first meet the client individually and spend more time. Family members / parent / spouse will be met later for a brief period of time. It will not be possible to update you about the things happened in the session owing to confidentiality. Our counsellor will try his best to empower your family member / child to communicate the things happened in the session to you directly.

13. Why should we come for Relationship Counseling? Can’t we correct it on our own?

When couple / family members confront multiple issues, generally they try to correct by talking within themselves. When it does not work, they try to resolve by approaching the elders or common friends or well-wishers. What is right or wrong is highly contextual and untrained people may not be able to understand that. So there is surely a possibility that they can influence you with their personal values and judgments and may take sides.

Moreover they can be biased unconsciously because they have preconceived notions about you. So when these strategies do not work well, relationship is strained further. Thus it is better to meet a relationship counsellor who would help both of you to improve your mental health and problem solving abilities. When it is done, you will be able to talk within yourselves without turning it to be an argument and solve the issues. After series of sessions you become independent to solve the issues.

14. In marriage / relationship / family counseling, is it better to meet with both partners separately at the beginning or should one talk directly with both partners together?

Everyone has to find their individual approach here, as both options have their benefits. Conducting the first couple therapy session together has several benefits. The therapist or counselor immediately gets an impression of the couple’s communication patterns and interaction. Who takes the initiative in the conversation? Who is more reserved? Certain patterns and behaviors in their communication are immediately recognizable. Both clients start from the same point and can build a shared connection with their therapist. Each partner has the chance to explain their personal point of view.

15. What if Only one partner / family member is willing to come for counseling?

Even if one partner/family member comes, it is still possible to work on the relationship.

16. How long will it take for me to make my relationship harmonious? How many sessions will be required?

It depends on various factors. However it can be said that minimum of 3-5-7 sessions for each person will be required to make it harmonious. Only after few sessions, you would be able to see the behavioral changes as the first few sessions would be utilized to work on emotions or thoughts. Behavioural change would become permanent only if there are changes in the emotions and thoughts. Making changes in the emotions and thoughts may take some time with the help of counseling and Holistic Integrated Psychotherapy. That’s why you need to be patient till the process gets over.
