Treatment & Support
Credentials, Stated Plainly
Taanya Nagi holds an MA in Counselling Psychology, certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, and a Diploma in Holistic Healing and Counselling from the Holistic Living Training Institute in Melbourne, which is Australian accredited. She is a certified member of AHHA, the Australian Holistic Healers Association, and a Reiki Master in the Usui lineage with more than twenty-five years of practice. Her Anger and Stress Management certification is from the Australian Institute of Management.
She trained in Australia and lived there for thirteen years. She does not practise as an Australian psychologist, because psychologist is a protected title under AHPRA. With Australian clients she works as a holistic counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist.
If you want a Medicare rebate or specifically a registered psychologist, you need an AHPRA-registered practitioner in Australia, and that is worth knowing before rather than after you book.
Who Comes from Sydney
Sydney's Indian community is concentrated in the west and north-west — Parramatta, Blacktown, Harris Park, the Hills — and a large share of clients are from those areas, alongside professionals in the inner suburbs and students.
Common threads: the pressure of Sydney's cost of living on a marriage; distance from ageing parents in India and the guilt attached to it; marriage and career expectations that make sense in one country and not the other; and second-generation clients negotiating between their parents' assumptions and their own.
Alongside that, the ordinary reasons anyone sees a counsellor — anxiety, panic, low mood, grief, sleep, burnout, relationships that have gone quiet or hostile.
What Works Over Video
Counselling and coaching translate directly. Clinical hypnotherapy works well and often better at home, where people relax more readily than in an unfamiliar room. Distance Reiki is unaffected by geography and is a substantial part of the work with Australian clients.
What you need is a private room where you will not be overheard, headphones, and a connection that holds for an hour. Shared housing makes privacy the most common practical obstacle in Sydney — it is worth raising early, because there are usually ways around it.
Sydney Timing
Sydney runs four and a half hours ahead of India during standard time and five and a half during daylight saving. In practice this works well: an early-evening Delhi session lands mid to late evening in Sydney, after work and after dinner.
Saturday and Sunday mornings in Sydney are also available, corresponding to Saturday and Sunday early mornings in Delhi. Weekday Sydney mornings are avoided, since they fall in the middle of the Indian night.
New South Wales and India shift their clocks at different points in the year, so times are confirmed against your local clock rather than assumed.

Questions & Answers
Everything you need to know before booking your first session.
Are you registered in Australia?+
No. Psychologist is a protected title under AHPRA registration and Taanya is not AHPRA-registered. She works with Australian clients as a holistic counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist with an Australian-accredited diploma and AHHA membership.
Can I claim a Medicare rebate or use private health cover?+
No to Medicare — that requires a referral to an AHPRA-registered practitioner in Australia. Some private funds cover counselling or hypnotherapy from recognised providers, so check directly with your fund.
What hours can we meet?+
Sydney evenings from around 8pm, and weekend mornings. Both fall inside reasonable Indian hours. Exact times are set against your clock, since daylight saving moves the gap.
How do payments work from Australia?+
International payment is straightforward and arranged when you book. Get in touch and the practical details will be explained before anything is committed to.
Is online genuinely as good as sitting in a room?+
For most concerns, research puts video counselling on a par with in-person work. Where it falls down is crisis work and situations needing local coordination — and in those cases you should be with someone in Sydney.
What if I need help urgently?+
This is not a crisis service and the time difference makes it unsuitable as one. Call 000 in an emergency, Lifeline on 13 11 14, or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
