1:1 counselling & therapy · online and in person

Come as you are.
There's a seat kept for you.

Warm, unhurried counselling — a place to be heard before anything gets fixed. No judgment, no rush, and you set the pace. Online, or in person in Pune.

Not sure where to begin? The intake takes a few minutes and means you won't start from zero.

The approach

Counselling that feels like sitting at a kitchen table.

I'm Vaayu Verma, a psychologist & counsellor, with an M.A. in Clinical Psychology and a postgraduate diploma in counselling & mental health (PGDCMH). I work in a calm, judgment-free way — the aim isn't to analyse you or hand you a label, but to make a space warm enough that the real things can be said out loud. We go at your pace, and nothing is off the table or forced.

Warm & unhurried

No clipboard energy. Just an hour that belongs to you, with someone who actually listens.

Judgment-free

Whatever you bring, you won't be judged for it. Confidential, and yours alone.

You set the pace

Some days you'll want to talk it all out; some days, less. Both are welcome.

Sessions

However it's easiest for you to show up.

One-to-one therapy, roughly an hour each time. We'll usually start with a gentle intake so our first conversation begins where you are — not at the beginning.

Online

From wherever you are

Private video sessions — from home, on a lunch break, wherever you feel safe to talk. All you need is a quiet spot and a connection.

In person

In Pune

Prefer to sit in the same room? In-person sessions are available in Pune, in a calm, quiet space.

What we can work on

Whatever's been heavy lately.

A starting point, not a checklist — and plenty that doesn't have a neat label is welcome too.

Anxiety & constant worry Low mood Stress & burnout Relationships Life transitions Grief & loss Self-worth Feeling stuck Something you can't quite name

Get started

Two gentle ways in. Do either first.

01 · A FEW MINUTES

Start with a gentle intake

A warm, optional questionnaire — one calm question at a time. Skip anything you like. It just means we don't start from zero when we meet.
