Online Individual Counselling

Sometimes there is no single “problem”, just a feeling that you are stuck, overthinking everything or carrying too much on your own. Online individual counselling gives you one-to-one time with a counsellor to talk it through, make sense of it and find practical next steps.

Individual counselling focuses on your present situation: a decision you cannot make, a loss, a relationship that is hurting you, or habits like overthinking and self-criticism that wear you down. You can talk in English, Hindi or Gujarati.

Common concerns we help with

You might be thinking something like:

“I overthink everything and can’t stop replaying conversations.”
“I have very low self-confidence and keep comparing myself to others.”
“I feel lonely, even when I am surrounded by people.”
“I get angry quickly and regret it later.”
“I lost someone close and I am not coping.”
“I can’t decide about my career, marriage or studies.”
“Work pressure has left me exhausted and burnt out.”

If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone, and you do not need to have the right words before you book.

Can counselling help with overthinking and self-esteem?

Overthinking and low self-esteem are among the most common reasons people start counselling. Your counsellor helps you notice the thinking patterns behind them, test them against reality and practise kinder, more balanced ways of responding.

Approaches may include solution-focused brief counselling, cognitive techniques, coping skills, life-transition counselling and emotional regulation skills.

Individual counselling or psychotherapy?

Individual counselling suits current difficulties and life problems. If you are dealing with anxiety, panic or depression that has lasted a while, psychotherapy may be a better fit. Not sure? Tell us what is going on and we will suggest the right option.

Your first online individual counselling session

The first session focuses on what you need help with now. You can start with a recent situation that felt difficult. Your counsellor will discuss your goals and agree a plan with you before any further sessions.

Session details and fees

All sessions are held online by video. Choose a quiet, private place and check your internet connection beforehand. Sessions are available in English, Hindi and Gujarati. Please contact us for the current fee, session length and cancellation terms; we confirm them before your first session.

Frequently asked questions

Can therapy help with overthinking?

Yes. Counselling can help you understand what triggers overthinking and learn practical ways to step out of the loop, such as noticing the pattern early and responding to worries differently.

Is counselling only for serious problems?

No. Many people come for everyday difficulties: stress at work, a hard decision, feeling lonely or low in confidence. You do not need to be in crisis to deserve support.

Can I talk about grief or loneliness?

Yes. Grief after losing someone, and loneliness in a new city, a marriage or a busy household, are both common reasons people start individual counselling.

What if I don’t know what to say?

That is very common. You can start with a recent situation that felt hard, or simply ask how counselling works. Your counsellor will guide the conversation. Our article on preparing for your first session may help.

Is counselling the same as life coaching?

Not exactly. Coaching usually focuses on goals and performance. Counselling also makes room for emotions, painful experiences and patterns that keep holding you back.

Is online counselling confidential?

Yes. What you discuss in a session is confidential. Your counsellor will explain how notes are kept and the limited situations, such as a serious risk to someone’s safety, in which confidentiality may have to be broken. You join from your own private space, so there is no waiting room.
