What Makes This Different

Not like talking to a teacher or parent. And completely different from an app.

Young people don’t open up when they feel assessed. Dr. Priya creates a space that is completely non-judgmental, private from parents, and genuinely curious about the person — not the problem label.

She understands the specific pressures of the Indian educational context, parental expectations, and the social dynamics of this age group — having worked at IISER Bhopal, KVs, Army Public Schools, and Ahmedabad University.

Sessions are 60 minutes and confidential. Dr. Priya can separately meet parents with the young person’s consent.

Common Reasons

Academic pressure

Social media comparison, FOMO, gaming dependency, and the anxiety that comes from being always connected.

Common Questions

About Teen & Young Adult Counselling

QWill you tell my parents what I say?
No. Your sessions are confidential. Dr. Priya will only break confidentiality if there is immediate risk to your safety — and she will discuss this with you first.
QI don’t know what to talk about. Is that okay?
Yes. Many young people come in not knowing where to start. Dr. Priya is experienced at opening conversations naturally — you don’t need to arrive with an agenda.
QCan my parents book for me, or do I need to contact you myself?
Either is fine. Parents can make the initial enquiry. The sessions themselves belong to you.
QHow often should I come?
Usually once a week at first, then less frequently as things improve. There is no fixed schedule — it is based on what feels right for you.
QIs it available online?
Yes, fully online via video. Many young people find it easier to open up from their own familiar space.
