Therapy is like Google Maps; your therapist, the Google Assistant, you will reach your destination, only when you choose to drive.

There is no single “perfect therapist.” The right therapist is one who is a good fit for your needs, goals and circumstances.

Before choosing, consider:

• Expertise: Does their training and experience match what you want help with? 
• Credentials: Look for appropriate professional training, including at least a Master's degree in psychology from a recognised university, along with relevant additional training and supervision. 
• Approach: Does their therapeutic approach make sense to you? 
• Experience of working with them: Do you feel understood, respected and comfortable enough to be open? Do you feel they understand your concerns and can help you work on them? 
• Professionalism: Are they punctual, prepared, present and professional? 
• Practical fit: Do their fees, availability, schedule and online format work for you? 
• Reviews and testimonials: These can offer useful context, although your own experience is ultimately more important. 

You don't need to find the best therapist. You need to find a therapist who is right for you.

Yes. The choice of therapist is yours, and we encourage you to choose based on the therapist's expertise, approach and your own preferences. We are happy to guide you, but we won't choose for you.

If you realise that your therapist isn't the right fit, you deserve the opportunity to find a better match. Staying with a therapist who doesn't feel right may make it harder to engage openly and get the most from therapy.

At Manahsparsh, we generally recommend exploring a better fit outside our existing team rather than moving between therapists within the practice. Where appropriate, we are happy to help you identify or refer you to another professional.

Talk to your therapist about it first. A good therapeutic relationship requires honest communication.

Tell them what isn't working—whether it's the pace, approach, communication, goals or something else. Your therapist may be able to adjust the way you work together.

Give it enough time to see whether things improve, while also paying attention to how you feel and whether you are making progress.

We also encourage you to be honest when giving feedback or completing reviews. We can personalise therapy only when we understand what you need.

If the fit still isn't right, don't let one difficult therapeutic experience become the end of your therapy journey. Finding a better match can make a meaningful difference.

Yes. Manahsparsh works with clients in India and worldwide, and many of our clients are Indians living abroad.

We particularly work with clients across countries such as the UK, Germany, Ireland, UAE and Australia.

For many Indians living abroad, working with an Indian therapist can offer a useful combination of professional psychological support and cultural understanding. We understand the experience of navigating more individualistic societies while also being connected to Indian family systems, values, expectations and cultural norms.

Online therapy allows us to provide this specialised support across geographical boundaries.

Therapy fees vary by therapist and location. For clients in India, our 1:1 therapy fees generally range from ₹2,000–₹4,500 per 45–50 minute session, excluding applicable GST.

Fees for clients outside India are different and are determined based on the therapist, location and applicable pricing. We aim to make professional support accessible through different levels of care, including free resources and affordable self-help options, in addition to 1:1 therapy.
