“Taanya Nagi sees clients online from her practice at Anand Niketan, South Delhi. For a great many people this is now the default rather than the fallback — not because meeting in person has stopped working, but because an hour of Delhi traffic on either side of a session is a real obstacle, and the work itself does not require the room.”
Treatment & Support
Does Online Counselling Work as Well?
For depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulty and most of what people bring, the research does not show a meaningful difference in outcome between video and in-person sessions. What predicts whether counselling helps is the working relationship and whether the approach suits the problem — not the medium.
There are honest limits. Situations involving acute risk, severe eating disorders, active psychosis or substance withdrawal need in-person care and usually a medical team. Some people simply concentrate better in a room, which is a legitimate preference rather than a failure. Both options are available here, and you can move between them.
Who Works This Way
- «Working professionals in Gurgaon, Noida and central Delhi, for whom the commute is the deciding factor.
- «Parents of young children, where leaving the house for ninety minutes is the actual barrier.
- «People elsewhere in India — Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, Chandigarh — who want a specific combination of counselling and holistic work that is not available locally.
- «Indians living overseas who would rather not explain the family context from scratch.
- «Anyone who wants their counselling to be genuinely private, without being seen entering a clinic.
What Sessions Cover
The same range as in-person work: anxiety and panic, depression and low mood, relationship and marital difficulty, family and in-law conflict, grief, workplace stress and burnout, confidence and self-esteem, exam and career pressure, and life transitions.
Where it fits, the work may draw on clinical hypnotherapy, EFT tapping, inner child work or guided relaxation. Hypnotherapy in particular transfers well to video, provided you are somewhere private and undisturbed — you stay aware and in control throughout, and the session ends with you fully alert.
The Privacy Question
This is the practical obstacle in most Indian homes, and it deserves more attention than the technology does. Joint families, shared rooms, thin walls, staff in the house, and the near-certainty of being asked who you were speaking to.
What clients actually do:
You are also under no obligation to tell anyone you are in counselling. Sessions are confidential regardless of who asks.
- «Headphones, always — they make the other half of the conversation inaudible, which removes most of the exposure.
- «A parked car. Unglamorous, and one of the most common solutions in Delhi.
- «Mid-morning weekday slots, when the house is emptiest.
- «An empty meeting room at work or a booked co-working booth.
- «An agreed signal for when someone walks in, so the subject can change without explanation.
How It Works Practically
Sessions run fifty to sixty minutes at a scheduled time, usually weekly at the start and spacing out as things improve. The first session covers what brought you, relevant background, and what you want to be different — you are not expected to have it neatly formulated.
Evening and weekend slots are available, which is generally what makes this workable for people in full-time work. If the connection fails mid-session, the arrangement is a phone call straight back rather than losing the appointment.

Questions & Answers
Everything you need to know before booking your first session.
Is online counselling as effective as meeting in person?+
For most common difficulties the evidence shows comparable outcomes. What matters more is the working relationship and the fit of the approach. Acute risk, severe eating disorders and psychosis are the clear exceptions and need in-person clinical care.
Can I switch between online and in-person sessions?+
Yes, and many clients do. The practice is at Anand Niketan in South Delhi, so people living nearby often mix the two depending on their week.
How do I keep sessions private at home?+
Headphones cover most of it, since they remove the other half of the conversation. Beyond that, mid-morning weekday slots, a parked car, or a booked room at work are what clients most often use.
Do you see clients outside Delhi?+
Yes — across India and overseas. Online work removes the geographical limit entirely, which matters most for people in cities where this particular combination of counselling and holistic practice is hard to find.
What if I find video awkward?+
Some people do, particularly for the first session or two, and it usually settles. If it does not, that is worth saying — in-person sessions are available, and there is no advantage in persisting with a format that does not suit you.
