Approach to Billing
This is a private pay/ self-pay practice
I do not accept insurance because it lets me give you my best possible care without limitations set by Insurance companies. Insurance coverage is often tied to a required formal diagnosis, strict session caps, and predetermined treatment protocols that reflect company policy more than your unique needs. Such constraints frequently undermine the depth, adaptability, personalisation, and time that genuine therapeutic change requires.
This means your care is guided only by what you need- not by insurance rules- so we can move at the pace and depth that is right for your individual journey of healing and development, especially if you are looking at long-term change. Your sessions remain private, with no information sent to insurance companies or any other third party.
For those seeking therapy that is tailored, flexible, and fully focused on you, this approach provides what I consider the best possible support.
Standard 1-Hour Rate
My usual fees for a 60 minute session are-
Individual therapy- 2500 INR
Couple therapy- 3000 INR
Family therapy- 3000 INR
This rate reflects a full-hour session crafted to help you identify what you need, uncover your goals and start moving toward greater well-being and personal growth.
Flexible Pricing – Making Therapy More Accessible
I recognize that financial hardships can make accessing therapy very difficult. In order to help with this, I keep a limited number of sliding-scale / reduced-fee sessions available based on honour system where no income proof is required, specifically for clients navigating genuine financial constraints.
In many situations, community programs, university training clinics, and nonprofit resources can offer good care at little or no cost. I want to make sure you know about these resources and can weigh them thoughtfully when choosing your path forward. So, I encourage you to consider those alongside private therapy with me. In my practice, these openings are usually filled by dedicated students, emerging professionals, and people struggling in low-income situations who are deeply committed to change and actively investing in their future.
Some of my clients have used this at different points in life such as career breaks, unexpected medical expenses, etc., and moved back up when things stabilized. If you are navigating hardships but are ready to show up fully for this work, I welcome you to reach out. We can talk openly about your situation and see whether my reduced-fee spots feel like the right fit. These limited spots exist so that commitment, not income, decides who gets to heal here and change, and I can continue offering the time and presence each client deserves.

Premium Rate
For those who are doing well financially and feel called to help by contributing more, I offer a generosity tier rate. By choosing to pay this premium rate, you are not only investing in care that supports your personal journey but also play an important role in helping me keep mental health care more accessible by creating space for those who need care but have limited means.
When you choose this special rate, you become part of something bigger. Your generosity at this level becomes part of a community focused initiative and sustains the sliding-scale model, quietly removing money as a barrier and allowing more people to heal with the same depth, respect, and quality of care you are experiencing.
Choose this not only for the change you want to feel, but also for the change you will help someone else finally reach.
Individual therapy- 3500 INR
Couple therapy- 4000 INR
Family therapy- 4000 INR
This is a simple way to give back and keep good care available to others in need. You may choose services marked by (P) at the time of booking.
Please note:
*There will be an increase in session fees by 10% starting every financial year (April). Fee increase will be discussed in advance, there will be no surprises involved.
*All sessions are for 60 minutes only. I may extend a session up to a maximum of 90 minutes (additional 30 minutes charged at half the session fee) only when I judge it to be clinically necessary and will discuss before proceeding ahead. Requests from clients for additional time are noted but approval is not automatic and depends entirely on my clinical judgment. Time management is a shared responsibility; if a session runs beyond 60 minutes for any reason, the extension fee will apply and be billed.
