Online Counselling and Therapy for Pune
Pune is half a university town and half a tech and auto city, and the people who come to therapy from it are usually caught at the join: students becoming employees, and employees wondering what they became.

Dr. (Hon.) Taanya Nagi holds an MA in Counselling Psychology and a Diploma in Holistic Healing & Counselling from the Holistic Living Training Institute in Melbourne, is a certified member of the Australian Holistic Healers & Counsellors Association (AHHCA), and practised in Australia for thirteen years before returning to India. She is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Life Coach and Usui Reiki Master with more than twenty-five years of practice, and she works online with clients across India from New Delhi, in English or Hindi.
Pune clients are in the IT parks at Hinjewadi, Magarpatta and Kharadi, in Baner, Kothrud and Viman Nagar, in the auto and engineering belt of Pimpri-Chinchwad, and in the hostels and paying-guest rooms around the colleges on Fergusson College Road, in Kothrud and along the Symbiosis campuses. A large share did not grow up in Pune, and many did not grow up in Maharashtra.
Treatment & Support
Why Pune clients choose online
Pune's distances are shorter than Mumbai's but its traffic is not proportionally kinder. Hinjewadi to anywhere at six in the evening is a serious undertaking, and an appointment that depends on it is one that gets missed. Video from home, from a hostel room or from a booked meeting room removes the problem.
For students, the reason is usually privacy and cost of exposure. Counselling on campus is often good but it is on campus, where the counsellor's office door is visible to everyone in the corridor. A video session from a rented room at eleven in the morning, when flatmates are in lectures, is a different kind of private. For working clients from other states, the reason is often that they want to talk about home in Hindi, with someone who does not need the family structure explained.
What Pune clients come with
- «Exam and placement pressure: engineering and management students, entrance-exam repeaters and final-year students whose worth has become a placement offer
- «The first-job crash, when a graduate joins an IT services firm or an auto plant and discovers that the structure of college has gone and nobody is watching whether they cope
- «Burnout in IT, especially in support and project roles timed to overseas clients, and the tiredness that no weekend fixes
- «Shift-work strain and family pressure in the Pimpri-Chinchwad manufacturing belt, where a job for life has become a contract that renews or does not
- «Homesickness and loneliness in students and young professionals from other states, living in a PG among strangers with a city that speaks Marathi around them
- «Marathi families with firm expectations about marriage, caste, property and who stays close to the parents, sometimes at odds with the life the client is actually building
Sessions around Pune hours
Pune and Delhi share a time zone. Early-morning slots exist for people who leave for Hinjewadi by seven, late-evening slots for those on overseas-client hours or evening shifts, and weekend sessions are available. Students are usually most comfortable with a weekday morning, when the hostel or flat is emptiest.
Privacy is usually a rented-room problem. Headphones remove half the conversation from anyone in earshot. A slot when flatmates are at work or in class, a parked car, or a booked meeting room at work all work well. Nobody has to tell parents, flatmates or a hostel warden that they are in counselling, and nothing is shared with anyone.
What is available
Counselling and psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, stress, grief and relationship difficulty. Clinical hypnotherapy for smoking, weight, phobias, sleep and exam or performance anxiety. Couples and pre-marital counselling. Life coaching, career direction and confidence work drawing on NLP. Distance Reiki, chakra work and EFT tapping for those who want them. Reiki training to Master level is taught online, with attunements given at a distance. All of it is delivered by video, fifty to sixty minutes at a scheduled time.
How this works
Sessions are online from New Delhi. There is no clinic in Pune, and in-person appointments are only available at D-96 Anand Niketan, New Delhi 110021. Taanya is a counselling psychologist, not a psychiatrist; she does not diagnose psychiatric illness or prescribe medication. Where medication or a psychiatric assessment is indicated she will say so and refer you to a psychiatrist in Pune, where the large hospitals and a number of private practices have psychiatry departments. This is a scheduled service, not a crisis one: in immediate danger, call Tele-MANAS on 14416, KIRAN on 1800-599-0019 or 112, or go to the nearest emergency department.

Questions & Answers
Everything you need to know before booking your first session.
Is there a clinic in Pune?+
No. The only consulting room is at Anand Niketan in South Delhi. Pune clients are seen online by video. Anyone visiting Delhi is welcome to book an in-person session while they are there.
Are sessions in Hindi or English?+
Either, or a mix. Taanya does not offer sessions in Marathi. Clients from Marathi households generally find English or Hindi works well, and students from the north often prefer Hindi for anything to do with family.
How do I keep sessions private in a hostel or shared flat?+
Headphones, a weekday-morning slot when the room is empty, a parked car, or a booked room at work. Sessions are not recorded and are confidential. You do not have to tell parents, flatmates or anyone at college that you are in counselling.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on what you bring. Focused difficulties often respond in six to twelve sessions; longstanding patterns take longer. You should have a rough estimate after two or three sessions, revised openly as the work goes on.
What if I need urgent help?+
Call Tele-MANAS on 14416 or KIRAN on 1800-599-0019, both free and available around the clock, or 112. If you cannot stay safe, go to the nearest emergency department; online counselling cannot respond to an emergency.
