Appointment Procedure

It’s simple, book online directly through the link available on the contact page of this website (https://www.unwindcentral.com/book-now/ ). Or just send a WhatsApp message to us on +91 9620150231. We will understand your requirement and block a slot for you at a mutually convenient time.

You will fill in a form with the service you prefer. This is also a good opportunity for you to reflect on what brings you here and to ask any additional questions that you may have about our practice. At the end of the consultation, you and the consultant will decide what the next step will be with regards to therapy and service linkage.

Our cancellation and rescheduling policy requires 24-48 hours notice before mutually agreed appointment. Otherwise, full session fee payment would be applicable.

Note: If you are unable to attend your session in person, you can shift always do it via phone or video call for the same appointment. Let your counsellor/psychotherapist know in advance.

We can agree to a mutually agreed time duration and payment made prior/before every session for the same. We accept all forms of payment to +91 9620150231 through GooglePay or PhonePe or PayTM Or debit card or credit card or cash or bank account or PayPal or TransferWise.

Write your name and appointment date in the transaction that you make. Payment has to be made to confirm your session appointment from your side.

The length of our session would depend on the type of therapeutic service you agreed to receive: 50 minutes to 80 minutes. Last 10 minutes is used for wrapping up the session with where have you reached on what we are working on and what is pending to take up further in the next session.

Just a heads-up — if the session runs longer than scheduled, a time-based extension fee will be applied to account for the extra minutes. 

Note: Feel free to speak on what is on your mind, what is working/not working for you, what you understand/don’t understand, etc.

Payment needs to be done before the session, so that client commits to their therapy, which works as a commitment to self-work through therapeutic sessions.

The session is charged Rs.3,000 for a 50-minute individual session and Rs. 4,000 for a 50-minute couple session.

Payment takes place at the end of each session if the client pays through cash or before the session if payment is done through a bank transfer/ any online portal.

If the client comes late for the session, the session would still end at the scheduled time & not be compensated. Hence, the client is expected to reach 5-10 minutes before the appointment to the clinic. You can call exactly at the mutually agreed appointment time for online sessions. If you are transferring the fee from within India, the charges are the same. If the transfer is from an overseas account, the charges will be Rs. 4,000/hr for individual session and Rs. 5,000/hr for couple session. An individual session is conducted only on the video call.

In clinic and online (only audio, text, audio and video)

Online calling options- WhatsApp or Google Duo or Botim or google meet call or Signal or hangout call or usual call on the number or Skype (ID- priyankaps87).

Note: Let your counsellor/therapist know your preference medium for the session.

You might have to wait between zero to 30 minutes.

In a situation, where arises that any client/counselee would hurt self or others directly or indirectly.

Let’s keep messages on WhatsApp strictly for the administrative purpose to avoid any confusion-appointment and payment related. My messages are short and to the point compared to when we talk in sessions. For any further questions and feedback (of what you are not comfortable or don’t agree with or don’t understand or have suggestions), just letting you know that you can feel free to talk directly on 9620150231 when you want to discuss about the appointment scheduled or emergency. Anything else about sessions, we can talk about it directly in sessions whenever you feel ready to talk as it helps avoid any form of confusions and misunderstandings. Any text messages will be responded by the end of the day usually. If you don’t receive any reply, feel free to contact again in person during the session. A thumbs up/okay/ fine/yes- can be an indicator we agree to what is discussed about the appointment and any emergency talks.

Call me in case of an emergency. If I don’t respond, feel free to call back again and text me regarding what the call was about. I would get back to you as soon as possible on the same.

Ongoing assessment of your symptoms and your goals is a good idea for effective therapy. Together with your psychotherapist you want to discuss when stopping therapy or gradually tapering makes sense.

While some clients can continue to benefit from ongoing therapy, you never want to become dependent in a way that is counter therapeutic, i.e., decreasing self-reliance, confidence, or independence. Likewise, therapy takes time and money, so those are resources to consider as well. No one should ever feel they can’t leave therapy.

Therapists should happily have the client complete therapy when the client is ready. This should be a very open dialogue. At the same time, if the client is continuing to benefit, the dependency isn’t being fostered and has the resources, a client doesn’t necessarily have to discontinue therapy either. While suffering may have decreased, some clients continue to identify areas for growth and can build on that, as long as it is beneficial to the client and therapy isn’t continuing because the client feels guilty or can’t let go for some reason.

Do not expect any ‘quick fix’, ‘instant solution’ or ‘magical advice’ that will make your problem disappear or give you immediate relief from pain or hurt. We also do not give lectures, tell you what is right/wrong or tell you what decisions to make with your life.

We follow the eclectic model of counselling. This means that we combine the best tools and techniques from various therapies to create a customized plan for your needs. The therapies we integrate are – TA, NLP, Gestalt, CAT, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, ACT, Family constellation, DMT/EMT, Somatic experiencing, Jungian approach . We prefer this model to be relational based therapy in therapeutic sessions between the client and the therapist.

The most important offering a therapist makes to their client is their full attention. And it is not humanly possible to offer this if your therapist has been in back to back sessions the whole day. We, therefore, have a strict policy of seeing only a fixed number of clients per day. This way we are fresh and fully available to our last client as much as we are to our first. We also prioritize our own self-care, so that we avoid burn-out, and stay with you as co-passengers in this journey of self-development.

For us, continuous professional development is a passion, not an obligation. We have a fixed monthly schedule for professional supervision and L&D training. We also update ourselves by regularly reading relevant books and research articles. Follow our social media for updates on the same.

We follow the Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals – Ethical Codes by SAATA and ITAA.

Services Offered

Counselling is for everyone. It is helpful for people experiencing ‘normal’ life issues as well as those with mental health conditions. If you have been struggling with any challenge for a while and feeling stuck, then it could be a good time to meet a counsellor. If you are committed to making personal changes for improving your life satisfaction, then you are ready to seek therapy. Many people believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems” for therapy to be appropriate. This is not the case, anyone can benefit from therapy. Some even choose to come in for insight only. There is no barrier to whom counselling can assist. We welcome you, regardless of your age, race, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or employment group. Counselling is also not just for adult individuals but is beneficial for couples, families, teenagers and children.

The terms “counselling” and “psychotherapy” are often used interchangeably, but there is a slight distinction. Counselling generally refers to short-term consultation while psychotherapy typically refers to longer-term treatment. Counselling typically deals with present issues that are easily resolved on the conscious level whereas psychotherapy intensively and extensively examines a person’s psychological history. In other words, counselling is more concerned with practical or immediate issues and outcomes while psychotherapy is more focused on helping a person understand his/her life profoundly and reflectively. The counselling normally helps a client process powerful emotions such as grief or anger, deal with immediate causes of stress and anxiety, clarify values and identify options when making important personal or professional decisions, manage conflicts within relationships, develop better interpersonal and communication skills, or intentionally change unproductive thoughts and behaviours. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, is an evolutionary process that helps a person look at long-standing attitudes, thoughts, and behaviours that have resulted in the current quality of one’s life and relationships. It goes much deeper to uncover the root causes of problems, resulting in more dramatic changes in perspective regarding oneself, one’s life experience, and the world in general. Ultimately, psychotherapy aims to empower the individual by freeing him/her from the grip of unconscious triggers or impulses through increased self-awareness.

Therapy/ counselling is not for everyone and it is not for every problem. Certainly, good advice can come from several sources, including friends, online search, colleagues and family members. Some problems require scientific and clinical expertise. Some issues may require careful assessment to determine what the actual problem is. And finally, there may be issues that are so private, revealing them to someone in a personal capacity may not be an option yet. There may also be chronic problems or unfulfilled dreams that people have been trying unsuccessfully to help you with. That is when effective therapy with expertise in the area may be appropriate. Therapy practiced by us is active, supportive and directive/ non-directive based on a person’s functional capacity. Concrete goals are set, barriers are identified, and interventions target removing barriers or giving clients the tools to navigate around them so they can achieve goals and live a peaceful, satisfying, and meaningful life.

There is no typical session. A session is a mutual process involving the development of a confidential, cocreative therapeutic relationship that focuses on concerns/issues. The counsellor/psychotherapist & the client/counsellee identify the problem, gain insights & explore the most effective ways to deal with it. With most types of therapy, you are free to discuss what you wish, from everyday events, dilemmas, feelings, and thoughts, to regrets, aspirations, bodily sensations, memories and dreams.

Though ‘speaking’ is a part of counselling, the counsellor may use other methodologies like art, play, music, film/ videos, images, dance, drama, writing, body awareness and breathing techniques. Whatever medium is used, the counsellor will explain his or her methods before beginning with it & the client will not be compelled to be a part of it if there is any discomfort. Feel free to ask any questions, doubts, clarifications and disagreements openly with your counsellor/psychotherapist.

You should look forward to going to therapy and learning more about yourself.

Searching for a therapist can take some time and effort. So, a therapist is a great fit for you if you feel like they are (some criteria to look for that help create a good fit with your mental health provider): competent, open for discussions on what you won’t talk about you, empowerment, healthy accommodations, healthy boundaries and therapeutic approach/methods.

Immediately get in touch with a friend or family member and ask for support. We do not provide 24/7 emergency services and severe psychiatric conditions. Consultation is possible only on a prior appointment basis.

Head to a nearby psychiatric hospital or any hospital to take immediate help.

Our therapists are not psychiatrists and therefore we do not prescribe medication. However, in some cases, medication can be valuable in combination with psychotherapy. If your therapist determines that you could benefit from meeting with a psychiatrist, we can assist with referring you to someone in our trusted network of referrals.

Anything can be discussed in therapy. There is great flexibility about topics and existential questions can be the main focus for a particular client. With that said, we will be goal-focused. If the goal is to come to a greater understanding or acceptance of existential issues, then we will spend the appropriate time on that. Without being overly rigid, we will navigate back to the goals and the agenda when we go off course. If something new comes up though, we will simply add it to the agenda to incorporate it into the longer-term goals.

Counselling sessions can help you to gain clarity on an issue, change old patterns, untangle complex personal issues, or embark on a journey of self-development. You may seek counselling as a result of a crisis, or you may be encouraged to seek counselling by family members, friends or colleagues.

This depends upon various factors. The timeline and frequency can be mutually decided between you and your counsellor after the first session. There is no specific time frame when working on personal development and growth. Depending on the type of changes that you are looking to make and the variety of issues that you are attempting to work on, therapy can last from a few sessions to much longer. Some find therapy to be extremely beneficial and choose to make it a long-term process.

The overall goal is that people feel better and go back to their lives. Once clients ‘graduate’ from seeing their therapist, many treat their therapist as one more tool in their health toolbox–checking in when necessary.

There are many benefits to engaging in therapy. Some of these include: gaining a better understanding of oneself, figuring out life goals and prospects, improving personal relationships, developing coping skills, enhancing problem-solving abilities, making positive changes to problem behaviours, and boosting self-esteem. Your therapist will work with you throughout this process and offer new insight into an issue that you have been struggling with. The benefit that you obtain will ultimately depend on how committed you are to your treatment.

Cure usually refers to a complete restoration of health, while treatment refers to a process that leads to an improvement in health, but may not include the complete elimination of the disease. Your lifestyle choices determine how far you would change would occur.

Counselling works best when it is voluntary. If someone is not willing, you could educate them about the benefits of counselling and clarify misunderstanding/doubts if any. Suggest that they go for one session and then decide whether to continue or not. If they are still resistant, then it would be best to wait till they change their minds.

There is no specific age for counselling. A person of any age can ask for help & guidance from a counsellor/therapist.

You usually don’t have to prepare for therapy. Simply come with an open mind and curiosity about yourself. But here are three tips that can help you get the most out of your therapy experience.

  1. You may find it helpful to journal about your thoughts and feelings before you come to therapy. Sometimes a journal can help guide your therapy sessions. Here are some journal prompts to get you started: Why do I want to go to therapy? How do I feel about where I am in my life? What goals do I want to accomplish? What’s been bothering me lately? Do I want to talk about a specific mental health problem? What do I love about my life?
  2. You may want to schedule some downtime after therapy to process your session, especially if you’re discussing heavy or painful topics.
  3. If opening up about your feelings is a new experience for you, then before your first session, you may want to practice sharing your feelings out loud in private. Consider exploring the feelings wheel and identifying what you are currently feeling.

How fast you see changes, depends on well you implement the suggestions given by counsellor. Counselling is a collaborative process, the session will give you a guideline, but the real work has to done by you in your daily life.

Counselling would be most effective if you as the counselee, have a clear goal in mind about what you want to achieve from therapy (even if it is as simple as wanting a space to vent your feelings). It is also important that you attend all sessions as planned and complete the homework assignments given to you at the end of each session.

The most common frequency is once a week. But there are times when two or more times per week could be appropriate, especially if the issue is acute and serious, or if the goal is to provide therapy in a condensed format for a reason like someone is preparing to go away to college, etc.

There are also times when going every other week or once a month could make sense. I often taper clients to this kind of schedule after symptoms have been significantly reduced and the client has learned the skills to cope better on his or her own.

Confidentiality is one of the most important components in therapy, as successful therapy requires a high degree of trust. With few exceptions, the highly sensitive material that is discussed between you and your therapist will not be shared with anyone else without your permission.

For example, your therapist may share information with someone on your healthcare team (your Physician, Naturopath, Attorney), but by law will only be allowed to release this information after obtaining your written consent. Also, therapists are legally mandated to make certain disclosures in cases where there is suspicion of harm to oneself, harm to others, or child abuse. All such disclosures will be discussed with you in advance.

Yes, there is parking available for both 2 Wheeler and 4 wheeler on the same road of the clinic.

You may feel better after your first therapy session and that’s great! But typically it takes at least three to eight sessions for you to notice a difference in how you feel or act.

Within the first few therapy sessions, you should start to see new behaviour patterns, new self-knowledge, or a new perspective on your life. You should start to feel that you have a greater understanding of your concerns, and even that those concerns are starting to improve. Eventually, you should be able to identify positive changes in your life — and others should start seeing a difference in you, too.

If you’re feeling that you aren’t connecting well with your therapist, or that you haven’t gained any insight into your life after a few sessions, check-in with your mental health therapist to discuss how you two should move forward. You may need to find another therapist or adjust how often you’re seeing your current therapist.
